2004 93 Arc Various Problems - Did I buy a Lemon?

I'm wondering if I am the only owner having a laundry list of problems with my vehicle. I have had my brand new car in the dealership 8 times within 6 months for the following:
1) SID flickers and does not work intermittently at vehicle startup. The steering wheel controls do not work when this happens. This is a problem the dealer cannot replicate and they are telling me that they have not seen this problem before. This has been a recurring problem since I have owned the car. No good explanation from Saab USA or the dealer.
2) Brakes howl when depressed in reverse. The brakes are being replaced next week.
3) Lock System Failure Codes. This was "fixed" but the dealer could not figure out why the code was displayed.
4) Engine Malfunction Codes. This was also "fixed" and they told me that it was a faulty gas cap, so they replaced the gas cap.
5) Gearbox Malfunction Codes. They reset and did a download, but could not figure out why the car displayed the code.
6) Engine belts chirp at startup, usually after the car has been sitting for an hour or so. The dealer cannot replicate.
I love driving the car, but it has been with the dealer too many times in the first 5 months of ownership. I am very frustrated and wondering if anyone out there with a 2004 93 Arc is experiencing any of these problems or if in fact I purchased a lemon???
Thanks,
Jerrod
