What owners report
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. IT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER PURCHASED IN MY LIFE.. I HAVE HAD ABOUT SEVEN.. AND WOULD NEVER BUY A SAAB. THE TRANSMISSION WENT AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. TWO MONTHS AGO THE ABS BRAKES FAILS. THE STEERING IS MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, FUEL PUMP..ECT...EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR I FEEL LIKE IT'S A DEATH TRAP. THIS IS THE 9000 CD NON TURBO BY THE WAY...JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET THE NEXT GUY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME. I HAVE PUT ALMOST 5,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ALREADY, I WILL BE LUCKY IF I CAN SELL THIS CAR FOR $500 BUCKS AND I HAVE HAD IT ONLY ONE YEAR. *JB

PLASTIC FUEL TANK SEVERE LEAK AT 2 INCH CRACK ON BOTTOM RIGHT REAR.
AS I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE (WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND), THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT TENSIONER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (PART OF THE SRS SYSTEM) DETONATED. IT SOUNDED AS IF A FIRECRACKER EXPLODED IN MY EAR. I HAD NOT YET PUT ON THE SEATBELT, SO I WASN'T INJURED, BUT IT WILL COST $650 FOR A NEW SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE AIRBAG/SRS SYSTEM HAS NEVER DEPLOYED BEFORE.*AK
