Saab Recalls Cars For Ignition Troubles and More

At the end of September 2005, Saab announced its intent to recall 288,000 model years 2000, 2001 and 2002 gas engine Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-5 vehicles because of a problem with ignition systems that can lead to overheating.

Saab’s Christer Nilsson told Reuters (news) that an electric overload causes ignition box failure and “in rare cases engines have stopped while driving.”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said that the 2002 Saab 9-3 fuel pump plastic retaining tabs for the fuel lines on some vehicles were damaged during at the factory. As a result, fuel can leak and a fire could erupt.

To make matters worse, some 2001 Saab 9-3 vehicles were shipped without having the air bag warning labels properly installed either.

A few months ago the more recent over 68,000 2005 Saab 9-3 sedan and convertibles were recalled when it was discovered that a brake booster valve could fail with no warning and lead to an accident.
