Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We have headlights that randomly go out since we purchased this car. It was serviced twice for driver side front door module. I expressed concern both times about the lights. Received letter in jan./15 for headlight modular recall - but no parts available at that time. Now notified that my car is not part of that recall. Well the lights still go out periodically and we have to drive with the fog lights on. Thank god no one has been injured.”

“A headlight recall exists for this model but my VIN number does not confirm. My headlights are failing while driving at night. There seems to be an issue with the VIN on this vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11230882, filed 2019-07, 105 miles

“As my daughter was driving in elon north carolina, both headlights failed. She was able to get the high beams to work. She took the car the following day to a garage. They confirmed the lights worked intermittently. Meaning - they would turn off for no reason. We called Saab, at the 800 number to be told that we had xenon lamps so it was not a recall item. I explained the issue was identical to what had been reported on other models. The reply = GM had not told us we have to recall those yet. She gave me the name of a dealer 30 minutes away and told me we were responsible for the charges. …”

“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.”

“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.”
