| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving on the interstate - exited onto an interchange ramp at 50 mph - and the engine stalled without warning. vehicle at rear nearly rear-ended mine - but missed by a hairs whisker. another piece of luck was that i was at the crest of the ramp so managed to "coast" towards the shoulder. waited for a bit - the car wouldn't restart. had to spend perilous time on the left shoulder before getting my car towed. at the time of writing - the car is sitting in the dealers lot. nothing special happened prior to this incident. previously a similar incident had occurred just outside my residence - and the dealer checked it out and said it might just be "bad gas". saab's customer assistance program was useless. based on the other incidents reported - refer to odi #s: 10162804, 10137685, 10097342 - there is something definitely wrong with this vehicle. please take action before someone loses their life.*jb |
