Engine Exhaust System problems of the 2001 SAAB 95

Two problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 2001 SAAB 95. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2001

White smoke exits the exhaust after the car has been driven for a period of time and sits, and is started again. SAAB customer service first told me a TSB would be issued concerning the problem. Poquet auto and morries SAAB both stated "some" Saabs have a problem. According to the csr, the injectors release too much fuel upon startup when the engine is cold and that causes the smoke. When the SAAB idles, it stops. I was informed that SAAB was working on the problem at first. Now I am told, there is no problem. This defect seriously diminishes the overall value of a $40k car.
