My wife's second comment after "what in the world is that...." was "we got a lemon". This is may first Saab experience. The faulty valve gasket at 600 miles was troublesome, but it had mostly faded from memory. And things do happen, right? But now with my experiences this past weekend, I'm beginning to wonder again.... I was fully aware of Saab's spotty history in terms of realibility, but I thought things had gotten better. Little did I know that I would be having these types of problems this early on in the car's history. I'm beginning to regret the decision to purchase over lease.
And yes, it does concern me that they're having to "open up" the car to dig around looking for problems, especially after hearing your story. My fear is they won't find anything wrong (the vibration/growling noise happened almost 600 miles ago now), but whatever caused the problem is still there just waiting to reappear. Extended warranty, here I come!
I'm also fairly disappointed that my preferred dealer doesn't provide Saab loaners. They'll provide me with a Enterprise rent-a-pos Buick. I'd rather drive my old beat-up Volvo.
