| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN ACCELERATING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS ENGINE WILL SLIP, STUTTER, AND MISFIRE REDUCING POWER AND CAUSING UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE MERGING MANEUVERS. HAVE HAD 3 OR MORE VISITS TO DEALER CONCERNING THIS WITH REPAIRS THAT NEVER FULLY RESOLVING ISSUE OF BAD IGNITION COILS OR ENGINE RESOLVE. VEHICLE IS 2008 SAAB 9-3 TURBO X, A LIMITED RUN OF 600. *JS |
| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | MY 2002 SAAB 9-3 STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT BE STARTED AGAIN. THE DIRECT IGNITION MODULE HAD BURNT OUT SUDDENLY, AND SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING OUT OF THE CONNECTOR WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR. THE MODULE FAILED WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, AND I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN IN HEAVY, BUT SLOW TRAFFIC. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, SO THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT IS SURPRISING AND DISCONCERTING. I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING.*AK |
