About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I own a 1999 Saab wagon which has had repeated problems with the engine and turbo system. The car, wih 92,000 miles, now requires a new engine. Estimated cost between 6 - 10 thousand dollars...about the value of the car. Last year, the car required a new turbo system (72,000 miles) at a cost of $1200 plus. At least four times, the vehicle failed while driving in traffic. It either lost all electrical power or would stall upon acceleration, requiring "two pedal" driving. The car required 5 tows because of mechanical breakdown. Car has repeated internal oil leaks which leads to clogged oil pan, a $600 repair. Customer believes there is an inherant defect with turbo seals.
