problem #1

Dec 192003

9-3 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Car leased 9/23/03 and one week after a loud rattling/knocking noise starts up from right rear. To dealer 6 times for this problem. Right rear shock replaced twice and on 12/19/03 district Saab rep concluded that noise comes from shock and is a normal noise. I disagree and do not understand this explanation. Delearship will not make any more attempts to fix this rattling/knocking noise. Filed a complaint with Saab customer service on 12/23/03 and have not heard from them. Am disappointed and upset that the noise can not be located and fixed.
