My strut towers have begun to rust, and if I don't repair and weld it soon, my rear struts might rip through the towers. the rear strut towers of saab 92X rust out over time due to moisture getting through the towers and getting trapped under sound deadening material. This causes virtually every non-fairweather 92X to undergo a rusted strut tower on the frame. This IS such a problem, the first recommended step when buying used IS to check these frames as the rear struts can rip through when they are rusted and cause a potentially fatal accident. the only proper fix IS welding.

The four bolts that the rear seats attach to hold moisture which then infiltrates the strut towers and causes them to rot out. what will happen IS you can be driving and without notice, a wheel will disconnect from the body of the car and immediately become a hazard that forces you to wreck the car since the wheel IS no longer attached. every saab 9-2X has this issue and every owner either parts the car out or has to have it repaired which I recently did to the tune of $1,075. just to keep the car safe to drive. the fix requires the rusted area to be cut out and then new metal welded in so it can regain structural rigidity.

Strut towers corrosion
- Structure › Body
Severe strut tower rust with many peoples collapsing. This IS directly due to subaru and gms manufacturing of the car.

Vehicle was backing out of a driveway when right-front suspension collapsed. Vehicle was no longer drive-able as entire wheel assembly was loose and rubbing against car body. Luckily, car was only moving at low speed at that moment and was stopped without injury to driver or damage to other cars or property. Car had to be towed (taken to nearest chevrolet dealer). chevy service department assessed issue, stating that right front control arm corroded and broke. Other suspension components were damaged, as well, as a result of control arm collapse. car was subject to saab recall no. 15031 (11281). This IS also nhtsa recall no. 11V-464, dated april 2012. Recall concerns corrosion of control arms. this vehicle was serviced for the recall in september 2012, with control arms being inspected and under-coated. (Service receipt available if needed for investigation.) chevy and saab would not provide repair reimbursement as recall was officially closed out. concern IS that many saab and subaru cars are still on the road with potential for a catastrophic failure.

My car was repaired at patrick cadillac in schaumburg, but still the "airbag" light IS on at the dashboard. The mechanic old me that the light IS not part of the recall. Since the light IS on, that means that there IS a problem with the safety airbag. another issue IS with the ABS. Whenever I step on the breaks, the ABS shakes as if it's bouncing on the breaks, and the whole car shakes. IS there a problem with the ABS systems? I thought my breaks needed changing, and all four break pads were changed, but the problems persists.

Fuel smell in cold weather. This seems to happen in cold weather only. When I start the car, I get a smell of fuel in the cabin. The car IS parked. When I have the air recirculation button pressed, the smell does not enter the cabin.
- Suspension
The driver's side control arm failed, resulting in a loss of steering control. The control arms were subject to a recall in 2012 (which was performed by a saab dealership at 99,992 miles). after the failure, a spokesperson for the dealership said the control arms were not replaced, but rather a clear rust proofing agent was applied by a subcontractor.
- Fuel/propulsion system
The smell of raw fuel in the cabin on cold weather starts. Further investigation revealed a fuel leak underneath the intake and fuel spraying and pooling on top of the engine block. So much fuel leaking that it ran down and made a puddle under the car.

Takata recall I received a notice in the mail recently from gm that said I needed to make a service appointment to get the passenger airbag inflator replaced. It said to go to my.gm.com/recalls and enter my vin. I did that and it showed two recalls: one for the airbag and an older recall for the control arms. I called ourisman GMC in alexandria (http://www.chevroletofalexandria.com/) and spoke with von, who said he was a service manager. He said that I did not have any outstanding recalls. I told him I had gotten a card and that my.gm.com/recalls said I had a recall. He said that the fix had not been figured out and that's why I was not showing up in their database. This IS nonsense - other people with the same car have had this fix done. He refused to look in my.gm.com/recalls and kept repeating that he could only use his system. I then called route 1 buick GMC (http://www.route1buickgmc.com/) and spoke with a service person named diana. She gave me the same story but was at least more polite about it. this recall has been outstanding for 18 months and the suspension recall has been outstanding for five years. They have refused to help me. I could get into an accident tomorrow and be killed by my car's airbag. neither person was interested in researching or attempting to figure out why there was a mismatch. This IS nothing short of negligence. I got a recall notice in the mail and it IS also reflected on safercar.gov.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and…
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at ODI's insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.Takata's initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida.Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas.Takata's testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina.Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.ODI's investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
