 Air bag malfunction light came on. was told by service station that they have seen many saabs with the same issue. i have also seen many posts online with same issue. was explained to me that it is always a module issue. to replace new could costs thousands. they have had all they have replaced rebuilt and many issues have been soved with this less expensive fix. i was advised to hold onto the service order by the garage because they have done alot of these and they will not be surprised if a recall occurs. since saab has claimed bankruptsy does that mean nothing will be recalled? i see many complaints that warrenties are not being honored. but as this is a huge safety issue would this be treated differently?this car cannot pass any safety inspection due to this issue.it only has 68,000 miles and has never given me any trouble. it just seems that this looks like a very common problem that should be addressed

 My wife and i were involved in a motor vehicle accident in our 2007 saab 9-3 2.0 t convertible. we were heading eastbound on sr610 in stafford, va and the other vehicle was heading westbound. the other driver made an illegal left turn in front of us failing to yield the right of way and we struck his car in the ride side (t-bone). his car was totaled and we had significant front end damage and our airbags did not deploy. both my wife and i are still recovering from our injuries and under current medical care. i contacted my saab dealership and they suggested i contact gm/saab to investigate the accident to determine if the airbags should have deployed. gm/saab sent an inspector and i was told i would be provided a report regarding their findings. the inspector completed the investigation and i was contacted by gm/saab. i was provided contradictory information by the gm/saab representative and their supervisor. when i requested a copy of the reports and photographs on three occasions, i was denied. they stated the car was safe to drive and it responded in the accident the way and manner in which it was designed and manufactured. i stated to them if that is in fact true, gm/saab should have no problem providing me a copy of the reports, photographs, and a letter attesting to the fact if was safe drive; however, they repeatedly denied my request. in the next week, i will be getting back my damaged, but repaired saab and have no idea if it is safe to drive let a lone sell if i choose not to keep it. i am very concerned over gm/saab
