After I had just filled up the gas light came on and went to empty. It bounced around for a couple of weeks, and then stayed on empty. I was told this is a gm defect. I travel 5 days a week for work, and I'm concerned this could cause my vehicle to stall, as I've heard happening to others. I have to remember to refuel every 300 miles. This is a gm defect, therefore, gm should be fixing this problem!.
Heard a noise from the rear of my 2006 SAAB 9-7x SUV at one point. Shortly thereafter, the fuel gauge began acting erractically causing engine light to sporadically come on and go off. Due to inaccurate readings, I have run out of fuel twice even though the information center still shows I have adequate levels of fuel in the vehicle. Appears to also be impacting the consistency of acceleration and maintaining speed associated with the throttle body. Gas mileage has dropped as well. Supposedly the repair cost is more than $350. Based on a search of similar vehicles (chassis and vintage) on the internet and newspaper reports, this appears to be a somewhat common problem, possibly connected to the use of fuel containing ethanol. Similar vehicles include the GMC envoy, chevy trailblazer and Buick ranier. I can send you related information from the internet if necessary.

2006 - SAAB 97x - in September, 2010 fuel gauge indicated low level fuel and computer showed 60 miles to empty. On the way to the gas station car just shut down. Called for service and had fuel put in the car. Still did not start. Finally, was pushed off the road by local police. Car would not start again and had to be towed to SAAB dealer. SAAB dealer claims I ran out of gas. Now have issues with fuel gauge when filling up. After refueling, needle on gauge goes to empty and 'check engine light' and 'low level fuel light' comes on. After driving for a while, fuel needle will go back and forth from empty to full. It will eventually settle down and 'low level fuel light' and 'check engine light' turn off. Not sure if fuel level is accurate. I have to keep resetting trip odometer to estimate where my fuel level is. I've called the SAAB dealer asking about any recalls on this. They said no but bring it in for them to look at. I understand it's a minimum $800. Fix ? please help !.
