Saab Warranty is reduced

As mentioned briefly in the snippets entry yesterday, Saab have definitely cut their 5-year/100,000 powertrain warranty and folded it in with the 4 year bumper-to-bumper warranty.

The extension of the warranty a few years ago was a good news story, but it always looks worse when it’s coming down, and this just looks bad, bad, bad. Probably much badder than what it really is.

SaabUSA sued over engine sludge

A lot of people have argued with SaabUSA about their engine having sludge-related problems. One woman in the US has decided to take the argument to court.

Engine sludge was an ongoing problem for the early models of the Saab 9-5 and certain models of the Saab 9-3, too. I don’t think anyone would dispute that. Susan Angell’s argument isn’t about whether sludge was the cause of the problem. She contends that SaabUSA knew all along and covered up the sludge problem.
