Saab 9-5 2002 Electrical System Ignition Module Review #10169807

SAAB 9-5 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2006.SAAB 9-5 2002, manufactured by SAAB CARS USA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE . leaving the i-287 in nj friday around 3.30 pm the car started to loose power by not responding to any throttle pressure. i pulled over to the right hand side as soon as i could and came to a faltering halt on the exit ramp. i turned the ignition off and on again to see if any warning display information was given. i looked under the bonnet but could see no sign of any leakage or excess heat. i got back in and started it again and it fired up but only with little power and would hardly rev up. i wanted to move forward off of the exit ramp as i was in a very dangerous position on a fast uphill gradual 90 degree two lane ramp with no shoulder, there was traffic coming constantly, it was friday afternoon and pouring with rain. when ever i put it into gear it would start to move but as it was uphill it was not very productive. i gave up after the engine stalled and would not start again, but did manage to get the car as close to the right hand barriers as possible so that traffic could pass me without straddling lanes. i called my local garage who arranged for a breakdown truck to come and get me. in the 45 mins it took to for them to get me i was extremely nervous that a truck or fast car would hit into the rear of my car, so i had the hazard lights on and kept my foot on the brake to illuminate the brake lights. it was a dangerous position to be in and the traffic was building quickly for the evening rush. the tow truck got to me at around 4.30 pm and took me and the car to my local garage. the garage diagnosed the idm units as failed, and replaced them. once i had the car back, the very next day the check engine light came on and this has been identified as being the catalytic converter being faulty, which i understand is a result of the ignition units failing and unburned fuel being pumped in to the unit. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 71000 miles.

SAAB 9-5 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2012.SAAB 9-5 2002, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SEAT BELTS . hello...i need to ask for your help. i have a 2002 saab 9-5 which has a problem with the front passenger side seat belt. it does not retract and therefore the passenger is unprotected. i know that saab has a history of this being a problem. my attempts to get some help from saab have been futile. if this was a minor item, i would just pay to have it fixed. i have been quoted $450 to have the seat belt fixed. i cannot afford to pay that. isn't this the kind of very basic thing that a vehicle owner should expect when they purchase a car? also, isn't this the very basic kind of thing that a vehicle manufacturer is responsible for providing to its customers, at a reasonable cost? i exist on a very limited income (social security) and can't afford to pay $450 to fix this. it is a known problem in other years and models of saab. can i ask for your help in trying to get saab to correct this situation? thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 125000 miles.

Saab 9-5 2002 Engine And Engine Cooling Review #10596487

SAAB 9-5 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 10, 2007.SAAB 9-5 2002, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . the engine on my 4 cylinder saab 9-5 (2002) has suddenly stopped while driving at least 4 times since owning the car, both on the highway and in slower traffic. the first time i reported officially (2007) to the dealer, "no cause was identified." i noticed the last time that it happened (around may 2011) that it seemed to coincide with inadvertently bumping into the ignition switch lightly while driving. the symptoms match that of another owner's complaint on this site for the 2002 saab 9-5. i expected my car to be included in the recent recall involving the faulty ignition switch but got no notification. i have also paid in june 2008 and again in october 2009 and january 2013 to replace/reset a faulty ignition cassette, which i believe should have been part of a recall campaign and not charged to me, but the parts were not included in the recall. in summary, due to the car shutting off, i feel it is not safe and that it should be included in the recent gmc recall. and that the faulty ignition cassette should have been recalled and not replaced at owner expense multiple times. i have documented service records of the above incidents. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53200 miles.
