Consumer Description

DRIVING @ 40MPH LOST ALL POWER IN CAR - ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, TIMING BELT JUMPED OFF (DIDN'T BREAK) . ENGINE VALVES WERE DESTROYED. I HAVE FOUND SOME INFORMATION (VIA INTERNET) THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY IN THE 95 V6 MODELS, YET SAAB CLAIMS NO SAFETY RECALL AND WILL NOT TELL ME IF IT FALLS UNDER THE "SERVICE CAMPAIGN" IN SPRING OF '95 - THEY TOLD ME TO CALL A SAAB DEALER! ANY HELP IN DETERMINING IF I HAVE AN RECOURSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THIS CAR HAD ONLY 30K MILES ON IT!
