| 2001 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | WE HAD OUR CAR IN FOR WARRANTY WORK IN THE FALL BUT THE SERVICE PROVIDER NEEDED TO ORDER PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE CONCERNED BECAUSE THE PARTS WOULD NOT ARRIVE, AND WE COULDN'T GET TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER UNTIL AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY TOLD US "NO PROBLEM" THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE WERE THERE PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THEY NEVER CALLED TO TELL US PARTS HAD ARRIVED (WE LIVE OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM SERVICE PROVIDER) AND THEY'RE NOT OPEN ON WEEKENDS SO DIFFICULT TO GET TO. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY WE WERE UPSET ABOUT THIS NEW REPRESENTATION BUT THEY SAID THEY'D CALL SAAB. THEY CALLED US BACK AND SAID THAT THEY DISCOVERED WE NEEDED A NEW HEAD GASKET ON THE CAR. THIS IS A 2001 WITH 38,000 MILES, NOT DRIVEN HARD. WE WERE SHOCKED AS THIS WAS AFTER OUR WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY SAID THAT THEY CALLED SAAB AND THAT SAAB WOULD PAY FOR APPROXIMATELY HALF OUR BILL (THE TOTAL OF THE WARRANTY WORK AND THE HEAD GASKET. WE HAVE TALKED TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE IS NO WAY A HEAD GASKET SHOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS STAGE UNLESS THERE WAS A DEFECT. SAAB WILL NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIR. WE'VE PAID OVER $600 TOWARD THE HEAD GASKET AND WARRANTY WORK THEY WOULDN'T COVER. *AK |
| 2007 | STRUCTURE:BODY | ON AUGUST 27, 2012, WHILE SHOPPING IN THE MALL, I CAME OUT SIDE TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING A FIRE OUT THAT LOOKS TO HAVE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CARE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE IT WAS PARKED. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IT SEEMED TO BE FINE. THE FIRE MARSHALL REPORT SIDE THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE THAT STARTED BECAUSE A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR |
