1999 SAAB 9-5 wagon review from North America
"Never buy another SAAB made by GM"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is the most unreliable piece of junk. So far seat heater has broken (1500), fuel pump replaced (800), modulator replaced (800), oil pressure switch replaced (600), light bulbs always need replacing and the headlights go in and out of power, Yes, there is the stutter when accelerating. Horrible reliability. Thank God for AAA.
General comments?
It was a better car before GM made it a piece of junk when they bought the company.
