Consumer Description

THIS IS A SECOND COMPLAINT AND UPDATE TO 1/1/04 COMPLAINT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED. SINCE THEN CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE WITH NO RESOLUTION. ALSO CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR BROKEN FRONT SEAT, FAULTY FINISH ON DOOR HANDLES AND DASH BOARD, BRAKE SQUEAL, AND PROBLEMS CLOSING SUN ROOF. ALL PROBLEMS CURED OTHER THAN TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND STEERING ALIGNMENT. CALLED SAAB USA PREVIOUSLY WHOM ADVISED TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE DEALER, WHO CAN NOT FIX. TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN DEPENDING ON AN AUTO TO REACT A CERTAIN WAY IN ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SITUATIONS AND AUTO RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY. IN MY OPINION THIS PROBLEM COUPLED WITH ALL THE OTHERS IS A VIOLATION OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES OF THE MANUFACTURE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE ISSUE AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD. THANK YOU.*AK
