Example complaints

“The seat belt on my 2001 Saab 93 will not work. I am unable to pull the strap out from the side of the car. I took it to my local Saab dealer they told me it would cost $700.00 to fix. My car is only 6 years old, not only did the seat belt stop working but the ABS system needs to be replaced at a cost of $3200.00. All of these repairs seem to be a safety issue that cost an excessive amount of money. I think that Saab should repair at the very least the seat belt which I am currently driving without.”
