My 1993 CSE 5 speed lost its timing chain/ sprocket(s) at 111K. I was driving (and accelerating) slowly (about 20 mph)at the time.
There was NO noise coming from the engine area indicating imminent failure.
Bent a couple of valves in the process. Dealer performed repairs, it was expensive at just over $2,000, but I had a new Saab loaner car for two or three weeks. Saab USA sent me a check for $900 after I sent them a nicely worded letter as to how disappointed I was about this failure.
