The abs module on 2000 saab 9-5 expeiences intermittent failures. When this happens ther is no abs, traction control or speedometer. This problem is so common that mechanics are recommending against used parts. The problem does not seem to be mileage related, but age related. Saab has issued goodwill credit to low mileage vehicles but does not care about higher mileage cars. A new replacement part is $2800.00.
On two occasions vehicle had rolled backward while parked with emergency parking brake engaged. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.*Ak
