Common Saab 9-3 problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the Saab 9-3, here is a detailed list of common problems associated with this car:
- Engine Coolant Loss: Many Saab 9-3s (1999 to 2010) experience engine coolant loss due to a porous engine block. Gas and contaminants present during the casting process lead to low coolant levels. Repair attempts like replacing head gaskets and water pumps have had varying success rates. Solutions may involve inspecting the engine block for repair or replacement.
- Loud Noises on Rough Roads: The front-wheel-drive design of the second-generation Saab 9-3 (2002 to 2011) puts strain on the front suspension, causing top mounts and bearings to fail between 35,000 to 185,000 miles. This issue results in loud noises when driving on rough roads and may require replacement of these components for improved driving comfort.
- ECU, Electric Windows, and Rattles: Some owners have reported problems with the engine's ECU, faults with electric windows, and various rattles and creaks in the Saab 9-3. These issues can impact the overall driving experience and comfort of the vehicle, requiring careful inspection and potential repairs to address them.
- Uneven Tyre Wear and Clutch/Gearbox Troubles: Watch out for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned suspension or worn tyres, especially in hotter versions that can wear out fronts quickly. Additionally, be cautious of clutch slip and gearbox troubles, as these can affect the performance and drivability of the Saab 9-3. Ensuring a full service history and checking for specific features like leather trim and a good stereo system can enhance the resale value of the car.
These common problems highlight areas where Saab 9-3 owners may encounter issues, emphasizing the importance of thorough inspections and regular maintenance to address these concerns effectively.

Saab 9-3 2000
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-22
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-01
- VIN: YS3DD58H7Y2
- Components: AIR BAGS,SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The driver's side, side air bag deployed spontaneously. There was no apparent reason or cause, ie no side impact of any kind, no door slamming or other provocation. The car was parked in a garage for six hours before I sat in the car, closed the door, then BLAM! Temperature was moderate, where as the car is often parked on a city street in direct sun. Air bag deployment was a loud bang followed by smoke from an explosive, and a sting on my neck and shoulder where the bag hit me. Bits of foam from the seat interior, where the air bag was located, blew around the car interior. I suffered temporary hearing loss in my left ear due to the loud bang. I was also quite startled. No other people were at risk. No other air bags have deployed since I've owned the car, approx. 20 yrs., purchased used. I will consult an authorized repair shop, insurance agent, and a dealer service center for more info. A Saab dealer service center told me a new replacement air bag would be available from Sweden at a cost of $700. That would be in addition to the cost of repairing the seat, door frame panel, and other items. There were no prior dash board or related fault code messages. The car has never been in an accident or impacted in any way to the best of my knowledge (I saw a Carfax report at purchase).

- Date Complaint: 2021-05-17
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: ys3df55k112
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I left my home with my daughter in the afternoon to go to the bank and hardware store. I drove to the bank to make a deposit. We had to wait for quite awhile in the drive-through line at the bank, so I turned off my engine a couple of times rather than having the car idle. After making the deposit at the bank, I pulled out of the bank lot and began driving to the hardware store. I had driven for about two minutes and was driving along at approximately 25-30 miles an hour, and suddenly there was a terrible explosion at my left ear and massive pain in my left arm. I thought the car had been shot at and my arm hit. I was terrified we were still being shot at and looked at my daughter whose hands were over her ears. I could tell by that time that I was not bleeding and so was worried that the bullet had hit her. I could hear only faintly out of my left ear. There was smoke and the smell of an explosion. I could see by this time that an airbag had come out of my driver's seat and thought that it had been hit too. My daughter told me she was o.k. and to pull the car over so that we could see what had happened. I was shaking with fear and pain in my arm but finally calmed down enough to park the car and get out to see what had happened. It became clear that the car had not been shot at and that the driver's side seat airbag had simply spontaneously exploded without any warning whatsoever. The driver's seat side seam was completely ripped, multiple pieces of seat foam were lying about, and the air bag in the seat was out and ripped. The seat was still smoking. Luckily I had had my window completely down, or the explosion would have been louder in the car, and my arm and left side could have been more badly injured. I called my longtime Saab repairman who told me that what happened to me was extremely rare. He said I would need a new seat and that the computer system would need to be reset for the airbag system to work again. Insurance will examine soon. I may try GM too.

Vehicle year: 2008
I think this is a great car overall. In my opinion, the 2.0T is the best deal compared to the 2.8. I chose all the options except for the navigation and automatic transmission. The premium leather gives the sport seats a luxurious feel that is not available on the 2.0T. This feature alone makes it worth the extra money. The leather quality is very nice, especially the French stitching! The manual transmission is a bit notchy, but still fun to drive. I have to admit that I never really liked Saabs before, but this redesign really makes the car look wonderful. The taillight surrounds take some getting used to, but overall it's a really good car. By the way, the upgraded sound system is just average, so I assume the base sound is not great.

Vehicle year: 2002
What a great car! Despite being replaced in 2003 by a newer model, this generation of the 9-3 still turns heads (especially after a wash and wax). The build quality is excellent, and the cabin materials are all of high quality. The interior controls are a model of Swedish design efficiency. Friends with an Audi and a BMW say the Saab's leather is much better than what they have in their vehicles. Although torque steer is obvious under hard acceleration from a stop, on the highway, this car can fly. The midrange passing power is awesome, and the braking is equally good. The reliability has been good - only a few problems which were covered under warranty. This car has never left me stranded.

Vehicle year: 2002
I can't express how much I adore this car. It's a classic high-performance Saab, and those who have driven one know how special they are. It's a true sleeper, and there's nothing better than leaving a GT Mustang behind in an old Saab. The interior is classic Saab, and it's very comfortable. It's definitely a future classic. The Saab's front-wheel-drive limits it in corners compared to an M3, but it's still very capable, and you'll have no trouble catching up on the straights. It's also very reliable, but be aware of vacuum leaks. The fact that it's electronically limited to 155 shows how performance-oriented this car is. Just be careful of that torque steer in 1st gear.

Vehicle year: 2010
The gas mileage listed in your article seems inaccurate. In my experience, the Saab gets around 20-24 mpg in the city and 29-32 mpg on the highway, making it one of the better cars on the market. Unfortunately, Saab doesn't always get a fair shake from the press or internet outlets. I encourage you to drive one and form your own opinion. Many people who own a Saab end up buying another one.

Vehicle year: 1999
I bought this car because I was looking for a replacement for my old Volvo wagon. I needed something that could pass a Cadillac in the mountains and this car fit the bill perfectly. It can haul tons of camping gear for two people and still manages to get 32 MPG at 80 MPH. It has been a reliable car, only leaving me stranded once when the serpentine belt came off at mile 102000. It's a shame that Saab did away with the hatchback design, as this style of car is the most utilitarian. It has huge storage, great handling, is fast, nice looking, and has good freeway gas mileage. However, due to the turbo and vehicle weight, the city mileage is poor.

Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my Saab. I recently purchased a 99 convertible with 50K miles and unfortunately had to spend $4500 on some repairs, including replacing the coil pack, convertible top pistons, water pump, and trip computer. I reached out to Saab for some 'good will' assistance, but unfortunately they were unable to help since it was 12 months out of warranty. I did some research online and found that some other Saab owners have experienced similar issues with the top and trip computer, as well as the coil pack. Just wanted to share my experience, but I hope you have better luck with your Saab!

I purchased this car used in 2009 and unfortunately, I have experienced some issues with it. The CD player and headlight wire harnesses are broken, the front spoiler fell off, and the paint is peeling on the control buttons. I had to replace the comfort fan for $600 and the driver side spring, which cost $1000 with a new tire. The lock system always malfunctions and the key fob disintegrated in my hands. Additionally, the cover on the third brake light fell off and the seat belt retractor just broke, which is a recall item. Despite these issues, the engine has been great and the ride is fun, although the seats are uncomfortable. I have been able to get good gas mileage, ranging from 31 to 38, which is what keeps me in it. However, if I had to do it over again, I would be more cautious when considering a used Saab.

This car was great in many ways - it had good power, fuel economy, and lots of cargo space. I also loved the way it looked and drove. However, I did have some issues with reliability during the four years I owned it. Unfortunately, I had to replace the turbo, throttle body, and timing chain, which cost me about $3k in total. Then, just one month before I would have paid it off, cylinder no.2 overheated, causing the piston rings to go and ultimately destroying the engine. The SAAB shop I was dealing with informed me that a used motor installed would have cost almost $4k. While I still have a fondness for SAABs, it seems that their reliability has decreased over time.

I've had my car for a little over two years and unfortunately, I've encountered a few problems. Here's a list of the issues I've faced: the computer chip in the key stopped working, which caused some trouble unlocking the car. I had to get new keys programmed twice. The tail lights went out, and the dealer explained that it was due to the lights running all the time. One day, my car wouldn't start, and I had to replace the battery. The dealership claimed it was due to the hot weather. I also had to replace all four tires due to the tread running thin before two years. If you have the A/C on high and need to accelerate to get on the freeway, the car can be a bit sluggish. Unfortunately, this weekend, the engine light came on, and I will take it in on Monday. I'm considering trading it before the warranty expires at 50k :(

Although my Saab has a great turbo pick up, I have experienced some issues with the electronics. Despite having them repaired, the electronic locks still do not seem to work correctly. The frequent and costly repairs have caused me to reconsider my ownership of this vehicle. While I understand that repairs are expected for an older vehicle, the constant and expensive repairs have become a burden. Recently, I had my vehicle towed to the dealership where they replaced the battery. Although it worked for a short period of time, it is now sitting in my driveway and I cannot afford to have it towed for another repair. However, I am confident that I will find a solution to this issue soon.
