ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2003 9-5 LINEAR IS HAVING MANY OF THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY AND I HAD THE CODES READ. THE CODES REPRESENTED A MISFIRE PROBLEM. WHEN DOING RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT IT IS MOST USUALLY THE DIRECT IGNITION MODULE, FAILURE AT 80000 MILES? SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY (ONE TIME), FORCING ME TO WEAVE THROUGH TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER TO GET TO THE SIDE. THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER STOPPING. NOW THE CAR SEEMS TO BUCK WHEN DRIVING AND AT IDLE, WHICH IS ALSO REPRESENTATIVE OF A DIM FAILURE. I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO THE SHOP TO GET REPAIRED UNDER MY AFTERMARKET WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT SAAB SHOULD BE PAYING SINCE THE FAILURE IS THE SAME AS THE 2000-2002 MODEL YEAR RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 SAAB 9-5 SE (V-6) (LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO) AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO PULL HER OVER AND PUT SOME DRY GAS IN HER HOPING THAT WOULD FIX IT BUT IT DID NOT. I NURSED HER INTO A GARAGE (NOT A SAAB GARAGE) AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT WITH A IGNITION CASSETTE FAILURE. I CHECKED ON YOUR WEB-SITE AND CALLED THE SAAB NUMBER AND THE GUY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL RECALL. I FOUND THIS VERY ODD BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME PART JUST ON A DIFFERENT VIN. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE PARTS GOING BEFORE AND IT SEEMS ODD THAT IT WOULD GO ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. *TR
