With 24k the battery on our 2000 9-5 went dead. It happened in the middle of my wife's erands for the day. She went to the drug store and when she came out 10 minutes later it was dead. I jumped the car and drove it the 4 miles home. It would not restart when I tried in our driveway.
Saab roadside assistance came through and I got a new interstate battery with Saab markings. The dealer would not drop off a battery, sot he car had to be towed to the dealer. My wife did loose the car for a whole day and we had to drive the 1/2 hour to the dealer to pick the car up. This was only slightly better than buying an aftermarket battery.
How long has the battery on your 9-5 lasted?
Drive Safe,
Joe
