What owners report
A PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM BROKE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED CONSUMER COULD NOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENT, PRIMARILY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE FAN MOTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP IMMEDIATELY. MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND RE DESIGNED THE SYSTEM, BUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART WILL BE VERY COSTLY. A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM WAS ISSUED. *AK
WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *NLM
I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MULTIPLE GASKETS REPLACED (AND ASSOCIATED ENGINE PARTS) BECAUSE THEY ARE PREMATURELY WEARING OUT. THE VEHICLE SMOKES EXTENSIVELY AND CAUSES THE SMOKE TO ENTER THE CAR WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER THREE WEEKS TOTAL IN THE LAST 5 WEEKS TO REPLACE THE GASKETS, OIL PANS, TURBO CHARGERS, ETC., WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE IS AN OIL PRESSURE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT SAAB HAS ISSUED A REPAIR RECOMMENDATION FOR ALL OF SAAB LIKE VEHICLES BECAUSE THE PCV IS DEFECTIVE AND IS CAUSING THE OIL PRESSURE TO BE TOO GREAT. THIS CAUSES THE GASKETS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY AND CAUSES OTHER IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE ENGINE
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING FROM A STOP POSITION. DEALER CONTACTED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST FUMES GETTING INTO VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK DEALER CLAIMS IT IS NORMAL FOR TURBO TO EXHIBIT EXHAUST FUMES. CONSUMER STATES FUMES ARE UNBEARABLE MAKING CONSUMER ILL. *TT
