SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LOSS OF BRAKE POWER ASSIST AFTER A COLD START UP. THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO STOP, REQUIRING HIGH PEDAL PRESSURE, UNTIL THE CAR HAS WARMED UP FOR ~30 SECONDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEFT WITH 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, TO ALLOW THEM TO OBSERVE AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE GIVEN THE DEALERS INFO ABOUT THE CURRENT NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE08005) PERTAINING TO THIS SAME COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL CAR FROM SEVERAL OTHER SOURCES, AND NOTED THAT EARLIER MODELS OF THIS CAR WERE RECALLED FOR A (POSSIBLY) SIMILAR DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SAAB 93. THE CONTACT STATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL SERVICE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE COOLANT WAS REFILLED YET THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS TOO POROUS, CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN SERVICED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
