| 1999 | AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW | 1999 SAAB 9-5 WAGON PASSENGER SIDE (SIDE) AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE SITTING STILL. GM IS DRAGGING THEIR HEELS AND NOT OFFERING A RENTAL CAR AND I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT IF I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE, I CAN PICK THE CAR UP FROM DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANOTHER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS QUITE A SCARY PROSPECT. GM SENT AN INSPECTOR OVER A WEEK LATER AND I'M STILL WAITING ON A REPORT. MEANWHILE WE ARE STUCK WITHOUT A CAR AND NO GUARANTEE FOR PAYMENT ON A RENTAL SO NO RENTAL. *TR |
| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN AMBIENT TEMPS EXCEED 90F. CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY UNTIL YOU ENCOUNTER SUMMER TEMPS AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. THEN, UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAR HESITATES SEVERELY UNTIL ENGINE SPEED REACHES APPROXIMATELY 2100 RPM. THEN ACCELERATION COMES ON STRONGER THAN EXPECTED. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DISTURBING WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS OR ENTERING A BUSY STREET. CAR SOMETIMES MISFIRES WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR |
