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.

Fuel tank is defective--fuel rushes to front of tank upon braking and thunks the entire vehicle. This stress on the fuel tank could pose a threat, such as a fuel explosion, in a crash. Problem exists when tank is 1/2 to 3/4 full. SAAB is aware of the problem, and states that it is caused by compliance with CA emissions standards. No other manufacturers have had such problems in complying with CA emissions. I have spoken by the internet with over 10 other SAAB 9-5 owners who all report the same problem. This is a design defect, not an individual complaint.
