Hope yours is better than my 2002 Arc? So far in 67K miles, DIC/IDM recall, turbocharger failure X 2, SID, rear muffler, center muffler, catalytic converter, rear shocks, throttle body, 2 - replacement water pumps, heater bypass valve, cup holder, window rollers, fuel pump is likely going (very loud), and squeaky rear suspension. Interestingly too the front lower control arms keep coming loose. The Dealer tightens it up but then has to align the wheels ($90) only for it to happen again. I'm sure I'm forget something? It's currently in the shop for the turbocharger and heater-bypass valve replacement. I am lucky because of CPO warranty but I'm thinking it's time for the car to go? I believe the work billed to GM/SAAB is in excess of $5000. It's a love/hate relationship with my SAAB. I love driving it and hate having it in the shop. I currently have a Impala Rental car and I took a corner this morning that I always take at speed with my SAAB and I almost rolled the rental car! So yes, I want my SAAB back but what will fail next? CPS?

Wife's 99 Mercury Mountaineer in 70K miles of driving - failed electric door lock on driver's side, harness for driver's door had a wire break and the radio display and CD player acting up.
