2003 9-3 dies while driving

My wife has a brand new 9-3, less than 5,000 miles, and yesterday it died twice while she was driving. Both times as she was slowing down (like from 40 to 30 miles an hour) the engine just quit. Both times she put it in park, restarted the car and it ran fine. She drove it to the dealer and they had it for an hour but couldn't find anything wrong with it. I would have thought it was a coincidence, but then I have a friend in Atlanta who has a brand new 9-3 and he had the same problem. The dealer down there tried to fix it by replacing the purge valve several times, but never could get it fixed. He finally asserted his rights under the lemon law and got saab to repurchase the vehicle. The dealer says they don't know of any wide-spread problem like this, but I now know of two cars with the same issue and no resolution. Anyone else know about this or have any input? thanks. ECM
