2000 SAAB 9-3 SE review from North America
"Never had problems until now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love this car. I bought this car early last year 2006. I really never had any major problems with it. I've maintained it very well. Until just recently about 2 weeks ago.
I went home for lunch from work. The car was working perfectly fine at this point. Then, as I'm leaving to go back to work, it doesn't want to turn on (I didn't leave any lights on in the car at all, nothing left open etc). I get a jump and right away it starts like normal. Didn't think nothing of it. No more problems, so I thought, until 2 days later.
My car wouldn't start unless I got a jump, so I did and now my car shut off as I was driving. That happened twice. I got it towed, also twice that day.
The place I took it to get checked out, swore it was the battery. Got a new battery and nope, not the problem, because the exact same thing is still happening. I asked if it could be anything else fuel system etc. they said they checked everything, whole electrical system and everything looked good.
So now my car is sitting at home and I have no idea what the problem can be. I want to take it to the Saab dealership, but I know that's going to cost me an arm & a leg. If anyone else has any idea what this problem may be, please contact me asap. Email: nioce1120@yahoo.com
