| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 saab 9-5 aero sedan. on june 14, 2007, i was driving this car when i experienced total loss of the braking system. this loss occurred completely without warning. the only way to stop the car was by engaging the emergency brake. subsequent examination by a mechanic determined that the vacuum pump and brake booster had failed. i was fortunate in that the emergency brake engaged and that i did not drift out into the 5 lane highway that i was approaching. i was also fortunate in that i did not hit other cars or pedestrians in this incident. saab has recalled other models that have had similar brake problems and i believe that the 9-5 should be investigated. *ak |
