Saab 9-3 Convertible 2001 Fuel System, Gasoline Review #10052912

SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 11, 2004.SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE 2001, manufactured by SAAB CARS USA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . my saab 9-3 convertible began pouring fuel at an alarming rate (more than 1/2 a tank poured out from the bottom-rear). no accident, bump, or road debris was involved. when the car was shut off, the fuel spill stopped. this is clearly a fire-hazard. at the rate it was flowing out, a lit cigarette in the road, a spark from road debris, or other flame source would have lit the car up like an explosive torch. i was also informed by saab roadside assistance that the fire department would need to certify the car was ok to tow - and was also told by the weary firefighters that because the leak was not active (the car was turned off) they would not provide certification - which was readily accepted by the roadside assistance leading me to believe they have heard this story before. my service team was familiar with the problem - even predicting it has something to do with a clip near the fuel line & tank that, when it breaks, leads to a flood of gasoline. i await their formal diagnosis. if the service dealers know about this problem - and the apparent scope of it - it seems deploying a plan to correct it would be the reasonable, and safe, thing for saab to do. it would be a tragedy to loose a person to this known defect. *la.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):YS3DF78K917.

SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 15, 2004.SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE 2001, manufactured by SAAB CARS USA, INC. had a problem with TIRES:SIDEWALL . not a failure, but misleading information to consumers which might lead to problems. i was sold dunlop sp sport fm901 tires for my saab 9-3 (i am fairly safety conscious) and was told that they were snow legal by just tires, a goodyear owned dealer. recently, i checked inflation and looked for the m&s rating on the sidewall--not there. i looked on the dunlop web site...it showed that the tires rated a "5" for snow on their 1-10 performance scale (indicating to a reasonably intelligent person that they would be average, i.e., what one would expect for an all- season tire). just to be sure, i sent a web-based inquiry to dunlop. goodyr came back to tell me they were not m&s but that they did score a 5 rating. it seems to me that having any snow rating, not to mention a 5, for a tire which is not m&s rated is dangerous and misleading. i know that the dealer will deny that they told me the tires were rated, so all i can do is to point out the problem to nhtsa and consumer outlets. hope you can convince goodyear-dunlop to stop the misleading practice. thanks. *ak.Saab 9-3 Convertible 2001 problem was reported in CHANTILLY, VA.
