2001 Saab 9-5, consumer has not received reimbursement for the recall work done on the vehicle. The consumer received a recall letter in the mail one month later, after the repairs were already paid for. When the consumer called to inquire about her refund, she was told by the manufacturer, that they didn't have all of the paperwork and also they didn't have her address. Nine months later, the consumer still has not received reimbursement. The catalytic converter was replaced.

My 2001 Saab 9-5 has just under 80,000 miles and has gone through 2 catalytic converters. It also burns out a lot of lights--headlights, tail lights, brake lights, etc. Every few months. Also the led display on the dash has a lot of pixels out. I'm wondering if the electrical current is perhaps a little too high and that could be what's causing all of the problems?
