1995 SAAB 900 SE Commonly Reported Problems

          The Saab 900, said to be a complicated and hassle some car to own new or used, without dealer technicians now, the car is practically useless without a specialist that knows the car. I was told by the guys at K&G Auto Werks that the entire bottom of the car is soaked in oil and other fluids and would basically all have to be taken apart, washed and watched to see where the leaks are coming from. I will be on the phone to tackle some of these problems with the General Motors Saab contact soon to see how I can get some of this fixed.

          With the help of Repair Pal, here is the best list of the most common problems people have had with this car over the years, some more severe than others, and some ridiculous, but easy to fix.
