2000 Saab 9-5 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 55 MPH, vehicle lost all power. Ecm was replaced but problem still exists. (nar) *la
There is a very strong polluted smell of fumes coming from the exhaust system. Odor has caused the driver to be very uncomfortable while driving.
Fuel tank is defective--fuel rushes to front of tank upon braking and thunks the entire vehicle. This stress on the fuel tank could pose a threat, such as a fuel explosion, in a crash. Problem exists when tank is 1/2 to 3/4 full. Saab is aware of the problem, and states that it is caused by compliance with ca emissions standards. No other manufacturers have had such problems in complying with ca emissions. I have spoken by the internet with over 10 other saab 9-5 owners who all report the same problem. This is a design defect, not an individual complaint.
