| 2007 | SUSPENSION | WHILE DRIVING MY SAAB 9-3 2007 I STARTED HEARING SOME RATTLING NOISE FROM THE FRONT LEFT SUSPENSION. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING UNUSUAL. WHEN I REACHED MY GARAGE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE FRONT WHEEL AND NOTICED ABOUT 6 INCHES OF THE BOTTOM SPRING COIL WAS BROKEN OFF FROM THE REST OF THE SPRING. I CONTACTED SAAB EXCHANGE DEALER IN LAKE BLUFF, ILLINOIS AND WAS TOLD THE 2007 SAAB DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THE SPRINGS AND THE REPLACEMENT COST WOULD BE ABOUT $1250. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY SAAB (GM IN THIS CASE). *KB |
| 2005 | STRUCTURE | NORMAL DRIVING. BOTTOM SIX INCHES OF FRONT RIGHT STRUT COIL SPRING JUST BROKE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COIL SPRING JUST BREAK BEFORE. THIS PART IS STILL ON THE CAR AND I HAVE THE BROKEN SIX INCH SEMI-CIRCULAR PIECE. IT TOOK ALMOST THREE MONTHS BEFORE I DISCOVERED WHERE A CLICKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM IN THE FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION. *TR |
