This vehicle has not been taken to the dealer however the contact expressed that this problem was identified by the dealer as an ongoing issue. 08/01/06 updated.

When I bought car I complained the engine light was on. The sales person told me not to worry about it, and I took it to the dealer today. And they said the engine light was on because of an evaporative. I have had the car a month and they say they can't fix it.

Temperature settings/adjustments on the climate control system do not work as intended. When it is cold outside, a set temperature of 68 degrees initially provides warm air, then it turns cold and the temp has to be raised to 82 degrees for warm air. Sometimes, the right side operates. The car has been in the dealer shop twice, the second time for 3 weeks, and the dealer was unable to fix it. Car is still under warranty. The dealer says there is something wrong with the design of the heating/ventilation system, and that they have seen other 2000-2001 year models with the same problem, and that Saab has redesigned the system since then. After the first year of ownership, during the summer the system provided hot air instead of air conditioning, but that was fixed.
