Dean has identified a common failure in the NG900 and 9-3 models. I had the same problem, but it was not the ignition switch. My car for about a month would also sometimes die or quickly shut off over a large bump. I traced the problem to a bad battery cable.
There was a poor crimp from the factory which causes high resistance (intermitent) on the positive battery cable at the post terminal. The fix was easy with a universal clamp (under $2.00 at Autozone). I talked with a Saab mechanic and he's replaced several that had the same problem.
While you're at it it wouldn't hurt to inspect all the connections to/from the battery, clean and apply some corrosion imhibiter.
Good luck, hope this helps.
