Sort of long (sorry), but for the record...... I had to replace the DI on my '99 LPT shortly after the warranty expired. I complained to SAAB about the number of problems that I experienced with my car just after purchasing it off of lease, and they were "gracious" enough to offer the DI replacement for free ($600 value they stated). When they replaced it (August of 2002) they also explained that they had downloaded the latest software upgrades to the DI, which tells me that they installed a later version of the DI instead of the original '99 unit. I haven't experienced any stalling in the 60,000 miles since the replacement, but the question that I have, which I have already posed to the dealer, does this recall effect my '99 LPT with a later version of the DI. The dealer, and SAAB, both told me that the recall will be put into effect in March, and more details will be made available then. I'll keep everyone posted.
