This page exists to host documentation of any issues with the above vehicle, so that those on the vehicle-specific forums can view them and hopefully lend some guidance.

Somehow got here without coming from the forums? Well… uh, welcome in I guess? If you’re interested for some reason, feel free to take a look. Otherwise, may I interest you in something from the above navigation menu?

Did google send you here when you were hoping to find a more useful page for your Saab? I recommend SaabCentral.com, it’s awesome!

Surging Issue - Nov. 2025

0:00-0:24 - Parked and revving in neutral. Smooth and clean while applying throttle, choking and rough when letting off to return to idle. This might be normal, but I’m questioning everything right now.

0:25-END - Test drive. Rhythmic ‘surging’(maybe there’s a more appropriate word, but this is the best I’ve been able to come up with). It shakes the whole car quite a bit. Modern video stabilization is incredible, so unfortunately that doesn’t really come through in the footage.
