| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | WHITE SMOKE EXITS THE EXHAUST AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND SITS, AND IS STARTED AGAIN. SAAB CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST TOLD ME A TSB WOULD BE ISSUED CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. POQUET AUTO AND MORRIES SAAB BOTH STATED "SOME" SAABS HAVE A PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE CSR, THE INJECTORS RELEASE TOO MUCH FUEL UPON STARTUP WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND THAT CAUSES THE SMOKE. WHEN THE SAAB IDLES, IT STOPS. I WAS INFORMED THAT SAAB WAS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AT FIRST. NOW I AM TOLD, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT SERIOUSLY DIMINISHES THE OVERALL VALUE OF A $40K CAR.*AK |

NO SHOULDERS ON THIS HIGHWAY LEAVING MY FAMILY IN A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS PLACE. VERMONT STATE POLICE RESPONDED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION. THE CASSETTE WHICH HOUSES THE IGNITION FAILED.
