ONE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT CAN BE DRIVERS SIDE OR PASSENGER SIDE AS IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME DURING A NIGHT DRIVE. BY TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, THEY WILL USUALLY COME BACK ON. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PATTERN OTHER THAN THEY JUST TURN OFF. SAAB STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLES LIGHTING.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING ACTUAL LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. GUAGE REMAINS POINTED AT 1/4 FULL TANK LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. FORCED TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL LEVEL BY RESETTING THE MILAGE TRACKER AT EACH TANK FILL-UP. WHEN MILES REACH AROUND 250 ITS TIME TO FIND A GAS STATION TO FILL UP AGAIN. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS 5-10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. SEVERAL OF THE SUDDEN "OUT-OF-GAS" EVENTS WERE ALSO FALSE. VEHICLE HAD GAS, BUT ENGINE STALLED AS THOUGH IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE AND COASTED TO NEARBY GAS STATION.

POWER DOOR LOCKS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THEY ALL LOCK/UNLOCK, SOMETIMES NO DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK, SOMETIMES CERTAIN DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK. SOMETIMES THE WINDOWS OPERATE VERY SLOWLY AS WELL. I HAVE ONLY USED THE LOCKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, BUT I HAVE NOTICED THE WINDOW PROBLEM WHEN BOTH MOVING AND STATIONARY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, I CAN'T PINPOINT THE EXACT TIME IT FIRST HAPPENED, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

Mileage: 100,000

MY FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AFTER I FILLED UP MY TANK. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. IT WILL SPONTANEOUSLY READ FULL, THEN EMPTY THEN PARTIALLY FULL THEN NEAR EMPTY ETC ETC. IN RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE FOR GM AND IT APPEARS IN THE LUCK OF THE DRAW NOW MY VEHICLE JOINS THE LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE. I DON'T SEE A RECALL FOR THIS IN MY RESEARCH FOR MY 2007 97-X. IS THERE A BROADER SCOPE RECALL?? SOME SITES INDICATE A WILLINGNESS OF GM TO PAY HALF THE COST?? SEEMS ODD THAT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMMON AMONG GM VEHICLES WHY WOULD GM NOT HONOR A REPAIR OF A KNOWN FAULTY DESIGN??

LOW BEAMS FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THEY DO THIS ON SMOOTH AND BUMPY ROADS, AND WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. SOMETIMES ONLY ONE GOES OUT. SOME TIMES IT IS THE RIGHT ONE, AND SOMETIMES THE LEFT, BUT SO FAR IT HAS ONLY BEEN ONE AT A TIME FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF MAKES THEM BOTH COME ON FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THEN ON GOES OUT AGAIN.
