ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
2001 SAAB 9-5 RUNS ROUGH THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE IDM DUE TO FAILURE. *TS ***NAR*** AFTER THE IDM REPAIRS WERE MADE THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WHICH REFERENCED THE PROBLEM THE CONSUMER HAD REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER SUBMITTED A CLAIM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
MY DIRECT IGNITION MODULE FAILED RIGHT AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I PICKED UP THE BURNING SMELL OF ELECTRONICS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR. IF IT HAD HAPPENED MOMENTS BEFORE, I WOULD NOT WANT TO IMAGINE WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED. THIS HAS BEEN A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V399000 . HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT SAAB IS SKIRTING ON THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES SINCE THE V6 MODEL USES THE EXACT SAME PART AS THE ONE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL SAABS WITH THESE PART NUMBERS. *JB
