Consumer Description

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT. TOOK IT TO A SAAB DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRING THAT TURNS OF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BURNT AND READY TO CATCH FIRE. WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST ABOUT $1000. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS NOT ONLY COMMON, BUT EVERY SAAB 9-3 HAS THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS SUCH A BAD THING, THEN WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS AND THIS A CONCERN? *TR
