2001 Saab 9-3 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2001 saab 9-3 turbo-charger failed on start-up on feb. 1, 2005; oil was blown into exhaust system; car was regularly maintained, no prior warning; manufacturer denied coverage because out of 50,000 mile warranty and repair shop done by local shop, not dealer.
Had the car serviced for 40000 service. Complained of stalling when lifting off the gas. The very next day the car stalled on the freeway and unable to restart. The dealer is saying that my aftermarket bypass valve caused the failure. They are refusing to cover the repair under warranty. The failure looks more like a head gasket failure and not an overboost problem.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning tvehicle shutdown, and would not restart.
While driving at highway speed the engine shut causing the vehicle to lose power steering. Ts
