#325 of 346 Problems continue by driverofcars Feb 23, 2007 (3:21 am)
Well, an update. Lots continues to go wrong with my 9-7. Electronics, seats, AC/Heat.... I was stopped at a light next to another person drving a 9-7 who said they loved their car but hated the constant flow of problems as well. 'Nuff said avoid the 9-7.

He went to two attorneys, one wanted pay hour pay, the other stated that under Illinois law he will collect from Chrysler if he wins, if he does not he would pay court costs ($300). Chrysler settled he got around $6,000.
#327 of 346 Honda? by waterdr Dec 21, 2007 (8:51 pm)
Funny...read the Honda and Toyota forums.....tons of problems there too. My neighbor across the street has a Honda Accord which he is sueing Honda under the Lemon Law. Car has been in the shop 18 times since July. Go figure.   While my Saab has not been perfect, I have never been treated better, ever by any service department.

Replying to: driverofcars (Feb 23, 2007 3:21 am) Well.. 13k update. Haven't had any more problems. Actually, the car is a pleasure to drive except for the abysmal 12MPG I'm getting. Handled great in the snow. Super comfortable to drive. Brought it into service, and they fixed some busted stuff for free that they didn't need to and were super nice. I get the sense management got hip to the garbage service and overhauled policies. Well, I'm not getting another 12MPG car, but after the unreal slew of problems, it's been pretty good. Fit and finish is still awful, but it's been a decent car the last few months. Replies to this message: kernick (Feb 21, 2008 8:33 am)

Replying to: driverofcars (Feb 03, 2008 9:41 pm) Don't feel too bad about the mpg. I have a Jag X-Type AWD with the 3.0L engine and it isn't doing much better at this time of year. I think the cold weather and short trips are putting me at about 17mpg. It also doesn't help that the gasoline is 10% ethanol, as that decreases mpg.   It'll be nice when we have some diesel choices.
#330 of 346 In regard to your continuing whine... by saablcp Feb 22, 2008 (8:26 am)
Question?Just what kind of gas mileage do you think drivers of VW Touaregs,Volvo XC-90'S,BMW X-5'S,etc,etc, (equipped with similar output engines)are achieving?Did you do any research before purchasing a 4,800 lb.,AWD vehicle with a 6,500 lb.towing capacity?Your posts seem to presume you have a "unique" problem,My impression is you purchased what is generally considered a very good version of a traditional body-on-frame SUV and you would have been better served and happier with one of the newer unibody "X-Over" vehicles such as the Mazda CX-9 or every soccer moms vehicle of choice the Lexus RX-350 series!   Also very few reviews fault the overall fit and finish of the vehicle,yours may be the exception to the rule.I did get a chuckle out of your commenting that the fit and finish was"still bad".....did you expect little elves to work on your vehicle at night while you slept?
#332 of 346 Wind Noise SAAB 97x by eghsv Mar 31, 2008 (12:33 pm)
Hey, I just found this forum and am looking for any help on a wind noise problem on the passenger door at highway speeds. I know this is not "a real SAAB", but it is what it is. I don't have problem with this being a re-badged something. I love how it drives and rides. No Envoy or TB, I drove, rides like this guy. I have had the window molding replaced on both rear door windows. That has reduced the noise some, but I think the door frame is the real problem. My wife can't hear the radio or talk on the phone while riding in the passenger set. I have read different blogs about "bending the door frame", the "dealers don't know how to deal with it" at all. What I am looking for a is a real solution here. I have talked various dealers and they all either don't know or how to deal with this.   Any help would appreciated..
#333 of 346 9-7x Aero by mma Apr 09, 2008 (4:22 am)
Replying to: sasuke (Nov 24, 2006 6:33 pm) I just bought a 9-7x Aero. After owning 3 saabs and a Cayenne S, I figured the 9-7x Aero would be something in between. I know it is a trailblazer, but I figured Saab would soften it up and make it more Saab like. I also didn't expect it to be as refined as the Cayenne, but I didn't want to pay for the Cayenne this time. Boy was I wrong, it's a Hot Rod Truck. Loud, rough riding fast as heck. I love it.
#334 of 346 2008 Saab 9-7x Aero by superclyde911 May 13, 2008 (9:13 am)
Well had it for five months and it has 5,000 miles. Yes, I love the kick in the pants feel from the 6.0 V-8. In all respects it looks like a Saab (the interior design is great!) but the fit and finish is classic American automaker (ala GM/Chevy)- poor to crappy and very "plasticky".   The real pain with my SUV is that it makes an incessant whining and grinding from the rear differential. The dealer is working on it now but they said the repair may take a while to isolate and then remedy- why? Anyone else have this same problem?
