My 2003 9-3T went into limp mode on Saturday, by the time I was pulling onto my street (less than 5 miles) it would not go into gear, and smoke was coming out from the engine compartment.
The end result: the radiator leaked engine coolant into the transmission, both are a total loss. My local dealer says it is at least a 3 week backorder on the transmission.
This vehicle has only 29,000 miles on it, and has been serviced religiously! So I can't answer your question - this car is an enginneering failure. between to numerous "software upgrades", recalls, brake issues, and now this, I would not purchase another Saab anytime soon.
Ironically, I had a 1994 900SE that suffered the same fate about 4 years ago.
