dan, i agree.

saab should do something about this.... i sent them an email and all they said was that there were no campaigns to recall or any service notes for the part.

i ended up going to http://www.nhsta.org and posted a complaint. not that it will do anything but it at least brings the issue to light with the national highway transportation safety association.
