| 1999 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE SPEED DROPPED TO 10 MPH. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE DEALER, WHERE THE IGNITION CASSETTES AND SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE IGNITION CASSETTE FAILURE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, #05V399000, REGARDING THE IGNITION MODULE. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THIS HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 30 MPH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT ONE OF THE HIGHWAYS WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AT 65 MPH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. THIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT DO OVER 15 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE SMALL OF THE CAR WAS VERY BAD SO THE CONTACT WAITED 20 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. THERE WAS NO FIRE. BOTH IGNITION CASSETTES WERE REPLACED, AS WELL AS SPARK PLUGS. *AK |
| 2007 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PURCHASED A 2007 SAAB 9-5 WAGON IN FEB 2010 WITH 14,000 MILES STILL UNDER BOTH BUMPER TO BUMPER ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND PRE-CERTIFIED WARRANTY. 5 WEEKS LATER IN MARCH 2010, CAR STALLED ON I-95 WHILE TRAVELING 70-75 MILES PER HOUR IN SOUTH CAROLINE AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITH 2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA NOT AT HOME IN NYC AREA WHERE I AM SURE WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. SAAB TOWED THE CAR AND SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CAR STILL DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS SMOOTHLY. AND, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THE POWERTRAIN/THROTTLE BODY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE SAAB CARS. *TR |
