  • Recall 9459 [USA]: This corrosion can possibly create open connections in circuits which control the restraint deployment, possibly causing inadvertent air bag deployment.

  • Recall 18847 [USA]: The corrosion causes a deterioration of the electricalswitch connection and can result in false illumination of abs and/or the brake warning lights and/or the loss of power assistance because of no hydraulic pumpoperation. loss of power assist increases the driver's brake pedal effort required for stopping which can result in extended braking distances.

  • Recall 17563 [USA]: Oil leaking on these hot engine surfaces can ignite and cause a vehicular fire.

  • Recall 19400 [USA]: Consequence of non-compliance: improper illumination of brake lights during brake application may not signal following drivers of the operator's intent to slow or stop and could result in a vehicle collision.

The heater core was found leaking. Anti-freeze was found on both the passenger and driver side floor, but could not determine the exact cause. The problem was confirmed this week when the car was taken to the dealer for check up. I was told this was a common problem among saab, and it is not covered by major component warranty. A car only 5 year old should not have this problem.
