| Campaign | Date | Component | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 98V038000 | 1998-02-24 | exterior lighting:headlights | VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPERLY AIMING THE HEADLIGHTING SYSTEM WERE OMITTED. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." |
| 97V046000 | 1997-03-21 | vehicle speed control | CORROSION AROUND THE ZINC-COATED THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER BUSHING CAN CAUSE THE THROTTLE LEVER TO BIND. |
| 95V068000 | 1995-03-29 | power train:manual transmission | IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO THE REVERSE GEAR POSITION, REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, AND STILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, OR, TO ACCIDENTLY DISENGAGE REVERSE BY STRIKING THE GEAR LEVER. |
| 94V226000 | 1994-11-18 | seats:front assembly:recliner | ONE OR MORE OF THE ARC WELDS CAN BE MISSING ON THE SEAT BACK FRAME RECLINER. |
| 94V174000 | 1994-09-14 | structure:body:door | THE TWO WELD POINTS IN THE REARWARD ATTACHMENT BRACKET FOR THE SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION BEAM IN THE REAR DOOR MAY BE OUT OF POSITION. IF THE WELDS ARE OUT OF POSITION, THE VEHICLES WILL NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 214, S5, "SIDE DOOR STRENGTH." |
| 94V127000 | 1994-07-08 | seats | TWO TRIGGER SPRINGS MOUNTED TO THE FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT LEVER DO NOT DEVELOP SUFFICIENT FORCE TO PROPERLY LOCK THE SEAT RAILS. AFTER THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED, THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE SEAT RAIL LOCK TO PROPERLY ENGAGE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SEAT TO MOVE IN A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION. |
| 94V110000 | 1994-06-13 | seats | A WELD IN THE SEAT RAILS WAS NOT MADE, INCREASING THE RISK OF FATIGUE CRACKS FORMING AROUND THE ATTACHMENT BUSHINGS ON THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM, CAUSING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE HEIGHT ADJUSTER BREAKING IN A REAR END COLLISION AND ALLOWING THE SEAT TO FOLD BACKWARDS. |
| 94V074000 | 1994-04-16 | service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc | THE ORIGINAL FRONT BRAKE DISCS AND/OR PADS SHIELDS DO NOT PROTECT THE ASSEMBLIES FROM BEING COATED WITH A LAYER OF SLUSH, ROAD SALT OR WATER WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW OR HEAVY RAIN. THIS CAN RESULT IN A DELAY IN BRAKING ACTION THAT INCREASES NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE. |

Arranging the work for the 900
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For battery service on the 1994 Saab 900, we connect you with a trusted shop. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Before the shop sees your 900
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Its 2.3L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual.
How we help
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A car while yours is in the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Ask us
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
