I hope it's okay to post this article . . . might this set a precedent for the capacitive 9-5 DICs even if the '03 9-3 DICs aren't?
Saab to recall stalling sedans
1/9/2004
WASHINGTON (AP) - The government is investigating Saab's 2003 9-3 sedan after receiving 16 complaints of the vehicles stalling without warning.
The stalling led to at least one reported accident but no injuries, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday. The stalling allegedly occurred during cruising, acceleration and deceleration at speeds of up to 40 mph.
Saab spokesman Kevin Smith said the company is aware of the problem and believes it can be solved if dealers reprogram the vehicle's computer with 2004 software. He said Saab intends to recall the vehicles, but hasn't yet notified consumers.
