| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I AM EXPERIENCING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH MY 2002 SAAB 9-5. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF MENTIONS I HAVE SEEN IN ONLINE FORUMS, THIS IS A PRETTY WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. THE SAAB TSB THAT RELATES TO THIS ISSUE IS 440-2497, OCTOBER 2004. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS ADVISED ME I NEED TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. IT APPEARS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EXPLORER/MOUNTAINEER VALVE BODY ISSUE THAT WAS ELEVATED TO RECALL STATUS A FEW YEARS AGO. *JB |
