9-5 Drivers (2010-) 5 days, 8 hours agoWindshield glass is now available for 2010 and 2011 Saab 9-5s with HUD, Rain Sensor, and Lane Cameras. It’s aftermarket, comes from Saint-Gobain in Ohio (they get it from Europe) and I had one installed today. Apparently me requesting this glass from Safelite got them to order it and stock their warehouses in the US as we went from none…[Read more]

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 2 weeks, 1 day agoI’m so happy with my 9-5 Aero 2011, making a statement between all those German lookalikes. I got mine last year in april one off the last made, I praise myself lucky. I already promised myself I would keep it as long as possible.
-
I came to the same conclusion, Gunter.
I have mine since August 2010 and have already 71.000 KM.
But will also drive this fine car as long as possible.

9-5 Drivers (1998-2010) 2 weeks, 3 days agohi i have a Saab 9-5 SE wagon 76k on it when i put my foot on the gas initially it makes a strange sound. just purchased 2mos ago does anyone have any ideal what this may be.
-
I think you need to be a bit more specific about what the sound, sounds like and from where its coming from… what rpms are you driving at, speed, does the sound variety with how much you depress the throttle etc?

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 1 month agoMiddle tail light not glowing bright? Anyone else experience this?
-
Probably no way to post a picture of that? How did you figure it out?
-
I first noticed it when unlocking the car at night – when the car is programed to have the pip lighting glow, the fog lights illuminate, and the rear lighting glow bright. But on this occasion the middle rear lighting was very dim and inconsistent. Then I asked my wife to press the brake to confirm (which it did).
-
I’ll have to unlock the car at night periodically and look for that. If we had warranties, that would be covered. Do you plan to do anything about it?
-
I’m due for an oil change in about 1,000 miles (also not covered but should be), I’ve have it fixed at that time.

-
Is there a website about the warranty options or do you have to buy it through a dealer? On the other topic, I’ve not had any vibrations on my 9-5 Aero in any setting unless the tires are cold but it goes away in a few miles.
-
Allstate, as I understand it, is the only company selling warranties for the new 9-5. I believe that you can purchase firectly from them
-
-
I’m at 18,400 miles now, without vibration. Will let you know if that changes. I usually keep mine in ”intelligent” mode, though this weekend I switched it to ”sport” for grins.
-
I’ve experienced the wheel vibrating since day one. I now have about 25,000 miles on my 2010 9-5 Aero. I notice it mostly in the mornings when getting up to speed on the highway. I usually improves – but doesn’t entirely go away – once I’ve driven for about 10 minutes.

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 1 month, 2 weeks agoCan anyone comment on the Hirsch performance to enhance horsepower in the 9-5 Aero..I feel like it needs some extra power even when I turn the sport mode on..I guess the weight is a factor particularly if I compare with my 9-3 aero.
-
I do not have an Aero but a 2.0 Tid and have the Hirsch performance upgrade.
That indeed makes the car a lot better. Am really satisfied with that upgrade. -
garciro, if you mean 2.0T Aero, Hirsch is IMHO highly recommended if you wanna have fun. The original power is enough for the car but after Hirsch, it’s much more fun. You can go to the Hirsch dealer and test the software on your car before you buy it. (Sport mode has nothing to do with power…).

Except the OEM windshield glass was not available when we did a dealer search back in Feb/Mar … not in USA and not in Sweden.
Have you found some from SG-France or Pilkington for a 2010/11 9-5 Aero with all the ”loaded” features?
