| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING WITH MY 2003 SAAB 9-3. AFTER GIVING THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 5 CHANCES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE UNABLE TO. I THEN CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO SAY THIS WAS THE NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR. I THEN LEARNED ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT OTHERS HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE IT IS RESOLVED. *LA |
| 1999 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE | IN THE COUPLE OF MONTHS PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT, MY VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON THREE TIMES, STAYED ON FOR A DAY OR TWO, AND THEN SHUT OFF. EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON (FIRST IT BLINKS, THEN REMAINS STEADY UNTIL TURNING ITSELF OFF) I EXPERIENCED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOME KIND OF IGNITION FAILURE. ON THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE PASSING LANE HEADING NORTH/EAST ON ROUTE 365 FROM VERONA TO ROME, NY WHEN I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE IGNITION FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (FIRST BLINKING, THEN STEADY) AND I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT LANE PREPARING TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, BUT THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND I CONTINUED ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL IT SHUT ITSELF OFF LATER IN THE DAY AS I WAS RETURNING HOME (A TWO AND ONE HALF HOUR TRIP). I PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED.*JB |
