Complaint
2004
SUSPENSION
WAS DRIVING 2004 SAAB 9-3 VEHICLE WHEN THE STRUT SPRING BROKE, AND STARTED DIGGING INTO THE TIRE CREATING A LOT OF SMOKE FROM BURNT RUBBER. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE STRUT STRINGS HAD BROKE ON BOTH SIDES, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SPRING CAME OFF OF ITS 'MOUNT' AND DUG ITS WAY INTO THE TIRE. NOTHING WAS HIT TO CAUSE THIS REACTION. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A MORE COMMON, THAN NOT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF 9-3. SAAB HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND THESE SPRINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TIRE BEFORE I STOPPED. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRAVELING ANY FASTER, I BELIEVE THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
MY CAR STALLS WHILE ACCELERATING OR DEACELERATING AND THE CANNOT BE RESTARTED. DEALER NOW HAS THE AUTO AND HAS INDICATED IT IS THE MAIN MODULE AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE CAR IS A 2004 SAAB CONVERTIBLE 2.0T 9 3. THE CAR WAS LEASED ON APRIL 23, 2004. ALTHOUGH THE MANURFACTURER'S WARRANTY INDICATES REPAIR OR REPLACE, THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. THEY ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE ME TO HAVE THE LEASE TERMINATED AND TO ROLL THE LAST THREE PAYMENTS INTO A NEW LEASE WITH A NEW CAR.
