Saab 9-5
What it says about you
Opinion
Comfortable, odd, and gone. You knew it was ending when you bought it and bought it anyway. Everyone who has owned one talks about them the same way and you know exactly the tone.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
8 model years on record, 123 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
Every year
- 2012 nothing on record 0 complaints
- 2011 0 recalls 9 complaints
- 2010 0 recalls 2 complaints
- 2009 1 recall 4 complaints
- 2008 2 recalls 40 complaints
- 2007 2 recalls 34 complaints
- 2006 2 recalls 23 complaints
- 2005 2 recalls 11 complaints
