#2161 of 2231 2007 9-5 / Steering Wheel question by arizonaaero Nov 11, 2007 (9:24 am)
Hoping I can find someone to tell me a definitive answer to a nagging issue.   Recently purchased an '07 95 Aero with all the trimmings, and love it (my 3rd Saab)........however, the one irritation is that at night, the steering wheel is completely dark, while the rest of the car back-lights. My dealer says this is "how it was made"....but yet, my previous 9-3 had the same wheel, and it DID backlight.   Is this the best Saab's flagship can do?
#2162 of 2231 Head Gasket Problem Saab 2000 9-5 by djb5 Nov 19, 2007 (8:21 pm)
My daughter has a 2000 9-5 with 92,000 miles. She replaced the head gasket 2 years ago at approximately 50,000 miles. It is now leaking again. She does not drive the car hard. She has a 27 mile commute each way to work. Any one have similar problems with head gaskets on the 2000 Saab 9-5? Thanks in Advance Don Barnard

Close friend has same problem at 50K, 9-5, but the V-6 engine, 1999.   She was not a hard driver either, and kept up with service intervals.    Dealer got Saab to kick in portion of cost.    Which engine do you have?
#2164 of 2231 Saab 2001 95 Engine/Transmission lights by clejon Nov 20, 2007 (6:18 pm)
Intermittent. Limp mode and then it goes away. Car drives normal but Engine/Transmission Lights stay on and shift level indicator light stays in park. If I stop the engine and restart, shift level go to any gear bu light will only go to R, D and 1. Any idea what is going on here. this problem only occurs from cold start and lights come on before the engine even starts.
#2165 of 2231 To buy or not to buy our 9-5 sedan coming off lease? by fran8 Nov 30, 2007 (1:04 pm)
We are looking for thoughts of whether we should purchase our 9-5 when it comes off lease. The car will have about 45,000 miles, we have serviced the car according to the onboard display, and replace the break pads at 37,000. We heard a rumor that these cars may have problems with the turbo charger and internal cabin heating sensors. Any experience/suggestions? Tks, Fran8
#2166 of 2231 9-5 Sedan, buy or not to buy by crestonave Nov 30, 2007 (1:34 pm)
You don't mention what year your car is. I have a 2003 Arc V6 which I bought from the dealer in 2003 with 8k miles on it. I now have about 54k on the car and still enjoy driving it. I've kept up with scheduled maint at the dealer. I also have him do an oil change every six months (synthetic) no matter what the mileage is. I'm very pleased with the car overall and I've had no major problems. Knowing what I know now I'd buy the car again in a heartbeat. Every car is different but if you haven't had any major issues to this point I think that's a good sign.

Replying to: saabhouston (Dec 06, 2007 9:43 am) Sounds like a bad bearing on a pulley such as the alternator.
#2169 of 2231 sounds and whirring by captainuncle Feb 08, 2008 (11:07 am)
Hi all,          I have a 2002 9-5 with ~ 68K miles on it. Car runs like a dream for the most part, but I've noticed something peculiar (and a little alarming) on occasion. After exiting the highway and stopping at a stop sign, I've noticed that the engine noise gets loud for a bit - there is then a whirring sound like a motorcycle from the engine - and then magically, everything returns to normal. Car then runs fine. No idea what's causing this - taking it to an independent mechanic to troubleshoot. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks
#2170 of 2231 Want to buy...but concerned by psivart Feb 12, 2008 (4:04 pm)
All,   I am thinking about puchasing a 2000 2.3l Turbo 9 5. The car has 168,000 miles though. All highway miles. Exterior/Interior immaculate. Car lived in Boston first 7 years. I am not sure of service history, but can I get another 100K miles out of the car without dumping loads of $ in to it? I can get the car for $4K. The current owner is the second owner and has had no problems thus far...I would just ahte to get it home and then....I've owned three other Saabs and love the cars, just don't have any experience with the 9 5.   Any thoughts?   Thanks, Travis
