SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO MY RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE ON MY 2005 SAAB 9-3 AT AROUND 75,000 MILES. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN IT SNAPPED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND AS NOTHING APPEARED BROKEN TO MY UNTRAINED EYE AND THE VEHICLE STILL OPERATED FINE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FRONT END NOISE AND THE BROKEN SPRING WAS DISCOVERED. NOT A BIG DEAL AS THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NO DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, A FEW DAYS AGO MY RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING SNAPPED AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO APPARENT CHANGE IN HOW THE VEHICLE HANDLED, BUT AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE FRONT SPRING THE SOUND WAS FAMILIAR AND THEREFORE I HAD MY HUSBAND INSPECT IT. APPARENTLY, THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE REAR SPRINGS, JUST THE FRONT SPRINGS AND I'M WONDERING WHY BOTH FRONT AND REAR ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. *KB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I PURCHASED MY 2006 SAAB 9-3 AERO SPORT SEDAN ON MARCH 10, 2006. BY APRIL 1, 2006, I WAS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE, I.E. IT WOULD SPUTTER, MISFIRE, SKIP AND IDLE AT MORE THAN 1,770 RPM. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WOULD EVEN OUT AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. ON THE MORNING OF MAY 1, 2006, THE CAR CONTINUED THIS STARTING BEHAVIOR, RESULTING IN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR TO MY SAAB DEALER. THEY KEPT IT FOR 21 DAYS AND STILL DID NOT FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED EVERY FUEL INJECTOR ON THE CAR. ON MAY 29, 2006, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR RESOLUTION AND WAS TOLD ON JUNE 6, 2006, THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN COMING OUT ABOUT THE PCM, AFTER THEY HAD KEPT IF FOR WEEK WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO FIX IT. EVIDENTLY, THE PCM EITHER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR REPROGRAMMED. *NM
