Less than 11,000 miles on a 2000 9-3 coupe. SECOND catastrophic freeway blowout in six months. Both quick and dangerous. NEW Michelin tires have/had 11,000 miles on them. The first blowout occurred at only 5500 miles. The Dealer has refused to deal with the issue. OnStar failed to work. I had to literally risk my life changing my tire on the freeway. I lost an important client because of this. Everything on this car costs double what Hondas and Toyotas cost. I see no added value, but lots of added risk and hassle. Tires are one of the simpler quality items for an Auto Maker to get right. If Saab puts bubblegum tires on their cars without noticing; I can hardly wait to see what they didn't 'notice' next. *** All this is not just expensive or unacceptable. It is criminal. No car, no matter how intelligently designed and built, is worth this. I paid extra for a Saab, precisely so I would not face problems like this. Today I would trade this Saab straight across for a comparable Honda Civic that would have gotten me to my appointment on time. So would you. milton brewster
