SAAB 9-5 2000 car safety problem was reported on May 07, 2005.SAAB 9-5 2000, manufactured by SAAB CARS USA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . i purchased a saab 9.5 wagon- year 2000 with 53,000 miles on it. now it has 63,000 miles. my repair bills currently are over $7,000 excluding maintenance and routine service (the warranty that i purchased w/ the car has not covered any of repairs). one day about 5 lights came on at the same time on my dash. i am talking about the lights/symbols that come on when a particular problem arises with the car. the entire brake system lights came on they are called the abs, tcs and 2 other brake related lights along w/ the engine light. i took my car to saab in santa monica and the mechanic, tony, ran a test and told me that i need to replace my abs computer brake component. the price for the part would be 2,800 plus 200.00- 300.00 for labor, so approx. 3,000 to replace this computer unit. the mechanic explained to me that i should file a claim with saab because of the "tremendous amount of failures" with this component. i did and i was denied by saab. unable to afford the cost of this repair, mainly because, like i mentioned before, i am well over $7,000 in repair bills already and i simply cannot come up with 3,000 right now. so, i was driving my car home and by accident the ignition key was nudged which caused the key to turn off the car. i completely lost all brake power and was forced to use my emergency brake to avoid hitting pedestrians walking across the street. this was a terrifying situation, i have never experienced completed brake failure and now i am terrified to use my car at all. since i cannot afford to have this computer component replaced i make an attempt not to drive my car. it seems to me that saab should take a more serious look at this problem. i have had 3 saab mechanics tell me the same thing about the this abs computer component, that it needs to be replaced often, and that it is something saab should be held responsible for. is saab aware of the potential danger owner's of saabs have and the general public regarding this specific problem? *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles.
