Door handles and side body molding are fading abnormally. Door handles are pretty much white in color. They were originally black. This shouldn't happen after only 4 years, especially with a car like a Saab (for which you think you are paying for quality).

2003 Saab 9-3 vector has problems with sunroof, front passenger seat belt, alarm system, gas cap, side view mirrors and the board computer. ** answer required***. the onboard computer could not be fixed after 3 service visits, until finally the vehicle was recalled and exchanged for another. The gas cap would not close properly, the alarm system went off inadvertently, the side view mirrors would adjust themselves after the consumer turned the vehicle off. The cd player malfunctioned. The seat belt light came on even when there were no passengers. The front spoiler is falling apart.
