The 2005 Saab 9-7X has 3 recalls, all centered on the same serious issue: the driver's door module can short circuit, potentially starting a vehicle fire.
The door module can develop electrical faults that cause power windows to raise or lower on their own, lose switch function entirely, or progress to a short circuit that may ignite a fire. Vehicles operated in regions with heavy winter road salt use appear particularly susceptible to this kind of electrical corrosion and failure.
