| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE | THIS CAR HAS DIED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND REQUIRED A TOW. THE FIRST TIME THE IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED FOR FREE (RECALL). THE 2ND TIME THE CAR MYSTERIOUSLY RE-STARTED BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN A TOW TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THE (DEFECTIVE) THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED AT A COST OF $714. ALSO, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD TO BE REPLACED (NON-WARRANTY) AFTER THE IGNITION MODULE (RECALL). AT APPROX. 118,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. *TR |
| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS | THE ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS THAT I OWNED THE CAR. THIS CAUSED THE REAR BRAKES TO BE PARTIALLY ENGAGED ALL THE TIME WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVEN. IT WAS SO BAD THAT YOU COULD HEAR AND SMELL THE BRAKES SCRAPING. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS ALL RIGHT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THEM APPROX. 6 MONTHS TO GET THE CORRECT PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. ALL THE TIME THE BRAKES WERE RUBBING WHICH CAUSED THEM PREMATURELY WEAR OUT. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT IN 15K MILES. ONE OF TWO THINGS HAS HAPPENED. THE ABS CAUSED THE PADS TO WEAR OUT OR THEY HAD BAD BRAKE PADS TO BEGIN WITH.(NOTE: MY OTHER SAAB HAS 30K MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL REAR BRAKES). *TR |
