Saab Owners get Customized Warranty Plans

While Saab’s factory warranty once provided solid initial coverage, many critical areas can leave owners vulnerable to costly repairs now that warranties have expired, particularly given that Saab ceased operations in 2011 and parts availability can be a challenge:

• Turbocharged Engine Repairs: Saab models like the 9-3 and 9-5 are known for their turbocharged engines, which deliver excellent performance. However, issues such as turbo failure, oil sludge, or head gasket problems can arise, and repairs or replacements for these components can be very expensive.
• Infotainment and Electronic Systems: Saab's advanced infotainment systems, including navigation units and sound systems, were ahead of their time but can be prone to malfunctions. Finding replacement parts or repairing failed touchscreens, amplifiers, or other electronics can lead to significant costs due to limited availability.
• Transmission Repairs: Many Saabs, including the 9-3 and 9-5, came with automatic or manual transmissions that can experience issues like gear slippage, clutch failure, or complete transmission failure. Repairs or replacements for these components can be particularly pricey, especially with the difficulty of sourcing parts.
• Suspension and Steering Components: Saabs were known for their balanced handling, but wear on components like control arms, ball joints, and steering racks can result in expensive repairs. Replacement parts can be difficult to find, driving up costs even further.
