Saab 9-5 - 2008

The 2008 SAAB 9-5 has a slightly higher overall defect rate of 347 per 100 vehicles compared to the average of 337 per 100. Notably, it performs significantly better in the areas of steering, lights and electrics, and body/structure, with defects in these categories well below average. However, it shows a concerning trend in the equipment and other categories, where defects are notably higher than the average. Mileage-related trends indicate that the defect rate increases with higher mileages, particularly in the 62,000 to 93,000 miles range, suggesting that as the vehicle ages, more issues may arise. Overall, while the 9-5 has strengths, particularly in steering and electrical systems, it faces challenges in certain equipment-related defects.
