problem #2

9-3

  • 99,999 miles
2004 9-3 convertible, aero. Had developed a sound from the fan behind the glove box. Usually begins to get louder when A/C is on. Taken to my local dealership where I informed it was normal "wear & tear." Cost to fix was estimated at $500. This is my third Saab convertible and it's only problem after 100, 000 miles.

problem #1

9-3 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
The keyless entry and alarm system have not been working. They started slowing down in working, but then the keyless entry module (the actual key) just stopped. I changed the battery on the key, yet it still does not work. This has been going on for so long.
