My 2003 SAAB 9-3 with 900 miles has been back to the dealer to be serviced on 3 separate occasions for computer malfunctions. I have leased this car for about a month. The dealer has attempted repairs but has not been successful. The computer problems have been a hazard while driving the car and have also been a nuisance. The locking system on the car has failed to work on more than 3 occasions leaving the car un-lockable and it has triggered the alarm system on many occasions. The dome light will light and stay on when I am driving making it difficult to drive at night. There have been other computer malfunctions that I can discuss in detail if needed. The computer problems make this car unpredictable and in my opinion dangerous to drive.
