These were probably timing chains snapping. It happened on my 9000CS, only mine was a '94. Apparently the timing chain manufacturer had cut some costs, and the chains were not good. Also, apparently the manufacturer modified them around 1996 or so, and there have been no problems since.
I hope SAAB is giving you and your Mom new engines. If they aren't, I would really, really yell and scream at SAAB about this! I was told that I would have been able to get a new engine if my car had had less than 100K on it, but it had 104K, so it was considered a high mileage car.
If they aren't giving you new engines, go to your dealer and start really complaining. Complain like someone is paying you thousands of $s to do it, which is what it will cost to repair the existing engines.
