ah, glad someone can have a chuckle over it ; ) man, i was getting sooooo frustrated. the saab techs even said the car isn't riding as it should. BUT they also kept saying, "its not that bad now..." which meant they were running out of ideas and it was becoming subjective. after the fixes saad tried an indy garage was suggesting replacing the motor mounts and a front axle -- both which they said had too much play. the dealer said both were within spec. saab-usa said they couldn't really do much other than suggest i make the dealer figure it out. i was getting so sick of driving the car to the shop with no loaner car -- 18 times = 72 twenty minute one-way drives in 2 cars over a 3 month span -- i could have driven to the coast and back AND with the money i spent on wheels, tires and alignments, had a nice condo rental to boot! so i cut my losses to regain my sanity and spend time with my kids rather than at various mechanics. i traded the car in on a lease and kept the payment the same. i took a big hit on the purchase, but the bad mojo is gone. i really like stepping into my acura with 600 miles on the odometer and knowing it SHOULD be problem free for years to come.
btw: i didn't post the saga of my problems on this board because i don't want to poo poo on saabs. frankly they are USUALLY great cars. my wife's 02 9-3 has run flawlessly (where's some wood to knock on!!). in fact, my acura doesn't seem to have nearly the attention to detail that the saab has. it feels much more mass produced and not as refined. it also won't stir you cafe mocha for you over 60! and that is a usually a good thing.
