All I have to say is I have had this car for over a year. It has been absolutely the worst car I have ever purchased in my life.. I have had about seven.. And would never buy a saab. The transmission went at about 100,000 miles. Two months ago the abs brakes fails. The steering is making all kinds of noises. I had to replace the alternator, fuel pump..Ect...Every time I get in the car I feel like it's a death trap. This is the 9000 cd non turbo by the way...Just thought I would let the next guy know what is happening to me. I have put almost 5,000 dollars in repairs already, I will be lucky if I can sell this car for $500 bucks and I have had it only one year. *Jb

My 1991 saab 9000cd turbo "eats" ignition modules. This happens roughly every 10,000 miles. At a cost in excess of $450 each it's expensive. When the module fails, the engine stops without warning. This can be hazardous in traffic. *Nm

1996 Saab 9000 aero rear-ended an izuzu rodeo. Damage to the rodeo was almost unnoticeable. Saab engine however erupted into flames and was a total loss. A factory certified technician less than 30 days prior to fire had serviced saab. Response from saab customer service - the issue did not concern saab and was between my insurance company and me. Was told by saab that insurance company would subrogate the claim if they thought it was worthwhile. Insurance company (metlife) commented that loss was not large...

Ets sends car into limp home mode making car very hazardous to drive. Braking system hydrualics are controled by this unit and are limited. Car sticks in cruise control mode. Saab has known of this problem and refuses to resolve it. Abs has 4 sensors on this model 2 front 2 rear the 2 in the rear are hydraulic and has a pressure switch the switch goes whacky and gives false readings..... Thus putting my abs dumby light on in my dash. Has a gas pedal poteintiometer that is very tempermental thus giving bad codes...
