| 1999 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | ON TWO OCCASSIONS, IT WAS NECESSARY TO BRING THE SAAB TO A QUICK STOP ON THE FREEWAY. ON 3/25/00, I NEEDED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP, GOING 65 MPH AND THE CAR SEEMED TO ALMOST SLIDE, NOT GRIPPING THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 25 YEARS, AND HAD TO MAKE EMERGENCY STOPS IN THE PAST, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. I BELIEVE THE SAAB 9-3'S SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR ABILITY TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY. ALSO, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE ACCIDENT. *AK |
| 2006 | SUSPENSION | DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE OUT OF ALIGNMENT STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, IT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE SYSTEM WAS CLEARED. THE DEALER WAS VAGUE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND STATED IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOORS LOCKS AND THE TRUNK RELEASE AS WELL. THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT WILL AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND TRUNK CAME OPEN ON ONE OCCASION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED. *AK UPDATED 08/14/06. *JB |
