general problems of the 2008 SAAB 9-3

Airbag malfunction contact service.

Recently, while starting the car it started up very rough. A few weeks ago the check engine light also came on and the mechanic told me there was an issue in cylinder 2. We replaced all spark plugs and coils, and the issue did not go away. In addition, the car has also started stalling randomly. Luckily, I haven't been driving at high speeds when this has happened but it's now shut off about 7 or 8 times in the last month. Been wondering if its intake valves, fuel pump, powertrain control module, camshaft timing. . . Sounds like lots of other people have experienced similar issues and hoping mines not because of the intake valves. Please email zachgrosel@hotmail. Com if you have experienced similar issues and know the fix. Car is a manual transmission.

I recently bought a 2008 SAAB 9-3 and the fuel reader lights up and says it's empty, even when the tank it full. Also, the door locks doesn't work when unlocking or locking them. This happens when trying to lock or unlock with remote key and when your lock or unlock it form the since. You have to lock or unlock it manually by pulling up or pushing down with your hand. I have done some research online and I came across a lot of other SAAB 9-3 owners that have came across the same problem. I think it should be recall since I think it should be fair enough for SAAB to fix the situation.

Upon starting my vehicle it had a rough idle, I went ahead and put it in gear and began to leave my garage, then my check engine light started blinking and there was a burning smell. I then put it back in park and got my husband to check it out when he opened the hood smoke was coming from the first cylinder on the engine. He quickly unhooked the battery and removed the oem bosch coil pack with gloves on because it was extremely hot (took over an hour to cool down after removed from the car), so hot that the coil pack came apart, had split open and melted. I have pictures and kept the pack for evidence. I do believe had he not got the pack out it could have very quickly been an electrical/engine fire. Part number from coil pack #12613057.

The passenger-side taillight bulbs have become so dim that they are visible only upon very close inspection. The taillight bulbs also serve as the brake lights, emitting a brighter light when the brake is depressed. Because of this malfunction, following cars may not have sufficient visual notice that the car in front of them is braking, resulting in a traffic collision. I understand that this is a relatively common problem and was able to have the connector for the malfunctioning taillight replaced. This was an exercise in futility as, almost immediately, the taillight became as dim as it had been prior to the connector replacement. This issue, which evidently cannot be easily remedied, creates a hazard to vehicle occupants, and those in cars following the affected vehicle.

2008 SAAB 93 2. 0t sedan stalled (no sputter or buck, but just a loss of power) while driving. Resulted in a collision. Initial dealership mechanics have "no findings" - they will have a field engineer investigate tomorrow.
