This symptom can be caused by several things, if you have somewhere to get the car looked at it's best to have the fault codes read. Faults for this issue set in the body computers, and generic engine code scanners (like if you go to AutoZone) will not read the correct codes, you need to go to a SAAB specialty shop who can work on 9-3SS's.
This problem can be caused be:
**Faulty ignition switch module (sealed electronic unit)
**Problem with the key (battery has nothing to do with the chip that lets the car start)
**Problem with the CIM (computer that controls the anti-theft system)
**Problem with the steering column lock itself
**Problem with the shift lever module
**Bad wiring somewhere
The only part you can replace yourself without having to program anything is the ignition switch, it's not too difficult a job, eEuroparts carries them for about $10 less than the dealer price of $125.
If that doesn't fix it you'll need to get the codes read and go from there.
