SAAB 9-3 2006 Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Report #10248987

SAAB 9-3 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 29, 2007.SAAB 9-3 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . IN AUGUST 2007, WE HAD TO HAVE OUR 2006 SAAB 9-3 SPORTCOMBI TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK RUPTURED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE. THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN OCTOBER 2008, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK LEAKING AND AGAIN HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT A COST OF $389.32 PLUS THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR, AS THE PARTS WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BY SAAB REGARDING THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO V-6 ENGINE, AS THE TURBOCHARGER IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE EXPANSION TANK. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS REASONABLE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK TWICE WITHIN A 14 MONTH PERIOD ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH SAAB CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY RESPONDED THAT SINCE IT HAD BEEN MORE THAN ONE YEAR SINCE THE PARTS HAD BEEN REPLACED, AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. ALSO, THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS WERE MADE AT A DEALERSHIP THAT HAS SINCE CLOSED AND CONSOLIDATED AT A SECOND DEALERSHIP THAT IS SOME DISTANCE AWAY (IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA). THE DEALERSHIP IN SAN FRANCISCO SAYS THAT THE REPAIRS IN SAAB'S SYSTEM INDICATE THAT ONLY THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK CAP WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, WHICH DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE INVOICE THAT I HAVE. IN SUMMARY, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A FAULTY DESIGN INVOLVED, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, NOT US. I AM CONCERNED REGARDING THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR, AND SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM, WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40742 miles.

MY 2006 SAAB 3 CONVERTIBLE ONLY HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IT IN MAY OF 2006. RECENTLY THE "COOLANT LEVEL LOW" LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. WE WOULD TOP OFF THE COOLANT AND IN ABOUT 8 DAYS THE LIGHT WOULD BE ON AGAIN. THE SAAB DEALER IN GUILFORD, CT. 06437, WHERE I BROUGHT IT TO BE REPAIRED, HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE!! SAAB SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY $6,000 TOWARD ENGINE PARTS. I HAVE TO PAY THE REMAINING $2,000. THE NEW ENGINE MIGHT BE REBUILT OR NEW AND ONLY GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR. THE CAR WILL BE IN THE SHOP FOR "AT LEAST" A WEEK. DURING THAT TIME SAAB IS GIVING ME A FREE LOANER TO USE. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR WAS AT DANGER FOR AN ENGINE FIRE BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE, ACCORDING TO SAAB. THE CAR WAS TOO NEW WITH TOO LITTLE MILEAGE FOR SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD TO OCCUR. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER SAABS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THAT SAAB SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR UNDER A RECALL. *TR.Mileage was 46000 miles.

I LEFT TO GO TO WORK THIS MORNING AND THERE WAS A HORRIBLE NOISE IN THE FRONT. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE PART WAY TO WORK AND THE NOISE SEEMED TO LESSEN. WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT THE NOISE WAS EXTREMELY LOUD. I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK MY CARE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THAT BOTH OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS HAD FRACTURED AND ONE WAS STUCK IN MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE ON THE INSIDE HAD BEEN CUT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHEEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE PEOPLE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH SAAB'S ON THE INTERNET IN ORDER TO FIND THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM. I THEN CALLED SAAB DEALERSHIP (THE ONLY ONE IN THE AREA) 30 MILES AWAY AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COILS BREAKING. I NOW HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED ALL THAT WAY AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF SAAB IS GOING TO COVER A RENTAL CAR FORE ME. I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO WORK AND NOW WILL HAVE TO BE OUT THE EXPENSE OF A RENTAL CAR. SAAB SHOULD COVER ALL OF MY EXPENSES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AND NOT PUT PEOPLE IN SUCH DANGER WHEN SAAB IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALWAYS TOLD EVERYONE HOW MUCH I LOVE MY SAAB AND THEY WOULD LOVE ONE TOO. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN IT IS FIXED, BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THAT THERE ISN'T SOMETHING ELSE WRONG THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR.Saab 9-3 2006 problem was reported in FISHERS, IN.
