| Seat Belt problems |
The seat belt on my 2001 SAAB 93 will not work. I am unable to pull the strap out from the side of the car. I took it to my local SAAB dealer they told me it would cost $700. 00 to fix. My car is only 6 years old, not only did the seat belt stop working but the abs system needs to be replaced at a cost of $3200. 00. All of these repairs seem to be a safety issue that cost an excessive amount of money. I think that SAAB should repair at the very least the seat belt which I am currently driving without.
When coming to a stop at an intersection, the drivers side seat belt locks repeatedly making it impossible to lean forward to see if the intersection is clear. Even after slowly leaning all of the way back and trying to lean forward again, it locks. The seat belt must be removed to avoid being held back in the seat and unable to see. In addition, when trying to remove the seat belt, the button sticks and must be pressed several times before it releases.
