Saab needs to come clean !!

Saab should be ashamed; past and current executives for not rectifying
this issue with the DI failure. I have an 03' and know it is just a
matter of time. Year after year, SAAB knew that this was a major
mistake, but continued to let these SAAB's and this design continue.
I would love to use a few adjectives to describe how I really feel.
Three months ago my neighbor was so excited that her husband bought her
an 01' 9-5 with 25,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago, when she was with her
young daughter at night on a backroad...guess what happened ? So there
they are sitting in pitch darkness on a backroad 45 minutes from home,
and waiting for a towtruck and a neighbor to arrive because hubby was out
of town on business. We read each day about this problem on this site,
and some look at it as another DI failure. If it was myself or loved one
stranded because of this, I would take a different view.
What would you have done, if a Saab salesperson said to you before you
bought the car and said, "oh, by the way, if you buy this car, sooner
or later without a doubt, this car will shut down completely without a
warning, and you won't be able to do a damn thing about it...could be
20 or 60,000 miles from now, but it's gonna happen". Even the strongest
SAAB enthusiast cannot downplay this issue of the DI that is BS.
