My SAAB has fallen victim to the, now well known, well documented ,soft valve issue. While gm owned SAAB they somehow allowed non-hardened valves to be placed into SAAB engines that are now failing at astronomical rates. There is no excuse for engines to fail at 50-60m miles. The cost of repair to consumers is $2,500 and there is no choice otherwise the engine does not start unless it's 70-80 degrees outside. The government needs to take action and hold gm accountable for this as they rightfully did for the seat belt recall. Human safety is important but so is knowingly producing an engine that fails not allowing customers to be a productive member of society.
