| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 saab 9-5 v6. just recently, about a month ago, my check engine light came on in the car. when this happened the car began to hesitate and "buck". i had a car computer hooked up to my car to find out what the problem is. the code came back as a cylinder misfire on cylinder #2. i asked the auto technician what could cause that to happen. he told me to replace the spark plugs and in that did not fix the problem that i would have to replace the coil pack. so i replaced the spark plugs and the problem continued. i went online to research prices of coil packs or ignition cassettes for my car. while doing so i came across the fact that this part has been recalled on many saabs. i then called the dealership to find out what should be done to find out if my vehicle was in fact one of the vehicles with a recalled part. he then looked up my vin number and told me that my car did not fall under the recall. i do not know how else to investigate if this is in fact true. if i am not under the recall, i do not understand what makes my failing car part different from the other parts that were recalled for my vehicle. *jb |
