One problem related to engine noise has been reported for the 2001 SAAB 95. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After bringing in to dearler many times for "engine light" and being told it was nothing I proceeded with maintenance. Due to late oil change dealer claims, after oil change, and complaint from me that there was a flutter sound in the system; they offer to repair for approx 3500 with no guarantee. My car is not abused and is new. After discussing with outside repair it seems this is a problem due to the oil used by SAAB. Apparently there are presently six other vehicles at outside repair shops changing oil brand and flushing for perfect results. Those outside sources charge approx $350. Personally I have only owned new vehicles over the past twenty years. All first quality: Honda, BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, SAAB,.
