| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 2003 SAAB / 9-5 -- 6-CYLINDER GASOLINE ENGINE -- MILEAGE: 80,956 -- MANUFACTURER: SAAB CARS USA, INC. --MY SAAB SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING HAD A LOSS OF POWER, ROUGH OPERATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SMOKE. THE SUDDEN STOP ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT THIS IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION MODULE. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART AND WITH LABOR THE COST WAS $441. MY RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED A RECALL IN VIN NUMBERS UP TO 7727. MY VIN NUMBER ENDS LESS THAN 1000 LATER. THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY AS IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL. (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05017) I HAVE RETAINED THE PART AND THE SHOP VERIFIED THAT IT IS THE ORIGINAL PART. I BELIEVE THAT THIS AND THE OTHER OF THE TWO PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. SAAB HAS DECLINED AND SUGGESTED MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO CONTACT HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.. *TR |
