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.

Seat belt repair problem re 2005 SAAB 9. 3 VIN ys3fb49s351015604 purchased Dec '04, involved in accident Aug '05. No repair parts stocked in USA, therefore ordered from sweden. After seven weeks on order, most repair parts received and repairs finally have been started more than eight weeks since accident. However seat belt repair kit is still on back order. Am advised that SAAB's original supplier of seat belt units has been discontinued and a new supplier has not been contracted. Seems to me that auto manufacturers should be required to stock safety items and should not be allowed to let supply of safety items lapse without replacement sources, particularly on late model cars (mine is of the current 2005 model year). Local dealer trying utmost, but SAAB USA and SAAB sweden appear not too responsive.
