Driving down street at 30 mph. Left side front spring broke. Spring stuck out and shredded tire. Left side of car dropped, which then caused right side spring to come off and cut right side tire. Had to replace both front spring / strut assemblies, and replace 2 tires. Researched problem, found that gm manufactured these cars in 2003 - 2006 and was offering a warranty to fix this problem. My SAAB is several months past the warranty dates but not the mileage limit. However, my understanding is that the original parts were faulty or defective. Very dangerous, as if car were traveling faster it could have been a serious accident. I would hope gm would correct or pay for a true safety issue.

Vehicle left roadway at 35mph and struck a tree. Airbag failed to deploy, driver suffered facial and teeth damage.

Since 18000 miles the dashboard has been displaying "system failure. . Tire pressure system". It has been re calibrated several times. Today at 47000 miles the authorized SAAB repair facility has declared that the monitors are the old style, which has had many problems and has been since re-engineered. Last week, the authorized SAAB repair facility maintained that a recalibration was necessary. . . Cost $105 . The fix on this is $550 +. This is a safety hazard! there is never a way of knowing if there is a problem since the message comes on and off while you are driving!!!!. In addition the alarms and flashing lights are a major distraction to the driver! shouldn't these tire pressure monitors be recalled?.

My 2004 SAAB arc convertible is equipped with the wrong wheels and tires. It is equipped with 215/55 r16 93 h m+s tires and wheels.
