I have a 2004 9-5 Arc Wagon with 66K miles on it. This is my fourth Saab. I have had zero things go wrng with the car under 50K miles. Over 50K I had the AC Fault Code 08 but I never fixed it and have not seen any isses relating to too hot, too cold, etc. I did just have my rear shock blow out when putting the car up to change the oil. However, I have been using my wagon as a high class truck and have overloaded the rear way too many times. Many times carrying about 500-600 pounds of equipment over long periods of time. I was not surprised that it blew and I'm the nly one to blame for that.
My only probelm was that I chose the same color for 2004 that I had for 2001 and as a result find myself pulling into the Saab showroom more and more and trying to come up with an excuse to get anoterh one real soon.
I will also admit on this Saab (as compared to the others) I have complety ignored all service at the dealer. I change the oil faithfully and did bring it fo rthe free 30K checkup but other than that I have done nothing to it.
I may bring it in for piece of mind soon.
Good Luck
