This must be something new. I drove a 900 for over 15 years and never had an issue like this with the brakes. The only issue I had with Saab was when they changed the pad compound because the brakes squealed. The pads used to last 30-45 thousand miles, with the new compound they did not last 15k miles. This was not a problem because the pads had a 15k mile warranty, so I never paid for pads until they dropped the warranty a few years before the car rusted away. jtmcmanus wrote: > We have had a similar problem with a 2000 9-3.
