Owner report 10322917 · 2010-03-30 (March 30, 2010)
I HAVE HAD MY USED VEHICLE FOR 20 MONTHS AND IT HAS LESS THAN 78,000 MILES. THE 2005 SAAB 9-7X STALLS WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT WILL RE-START AND RUN FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN. WHEN IT STALLS I HAVE TO QUICKLY TRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER. MOST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RE-START AND MUST BE TOWED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THIS STARTED HAPPENING THERE WAS APPROXMATELY 60,000 MILES (MAYBE A LITTLE MORE) ON THE VEHICLE. HERE ARE A COUPLE INSTANCES OF WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLE…

I HAVE A 2006 SAAB 9-7X WITH 92,000+ MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD FAILED AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES AND I HAVE YET TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $850 TO $1,000 DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BE DONE. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE I NO MANY MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS NOT FAIR FOR A DEFECT IN QUALITY OF A NEAR $45,000 VEHICLE TO BE LAID ON A COSTUMER. SIGNS OF THIS PROBLEM WERE THAT THE GAUGE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY READ FALSE THEN REGULATE TO NORMAL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NO…

SAAB 97X SUV... FUEL GAUGE GIVING FALSE READINGS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH GM UNITS OF SIMILAR VINTAGE. MY GAS GAUGE STARTED GIVING ME OCCASIONAL FALSE READINGS A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO. THEY BECOME MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. CURRENTLY, THE GAS GAUGE ONLY READS EMPTY. WHILE I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW MANY MILES I CAN TRAVEL BEFORE THE NEED TO FILL UP, I FEAR MY WIFE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK AS EASILY. I'M JUST AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL BE REAR-ENDED IF IT STALLS OUT FROM A FALSE READING, AND THE GAS TANK ACTUALLY IS EMPTY. …
