What owners say
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.
Takata recall I bought a 2006 saab 97x n I have problems w my hid low beams the left side just wont light up n wen im drivin somtimes my drivin lights go on n off while im on the highway ! Ive had the bulbs changed twice n still the passenger low beam wont light up !!!
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.
Dim head lights, I have to use the high beam light to see properly especially on highway or poorly lit areas.
Takata recall the headlights will not stay on one go out to the other go out and they come back on then they go out again all through while I'm driving headlights will not stay on come on and off

There is a recall for certain 2008 97x models, recall number 15v519000. The headlights come on when driving, but then flicker and go out, causing a huge safety issue . This is happening to my car, but saab tells me my VIN is not included. The recall should be extended to include all 2008 97x model. At this time, some owners are getting it fixed for free and others, like me will have to pay for it.

- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.
- Risk
- Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1‑800‑521‑7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1‑800‑762‑2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.
