After doing some research, I have found that I have spent $494. 97 on what was a recall previously, I have a SAAB 93 convertible and was driving on the freeway when the engine light came on and started losing power. Took to the dealership and need the di-cassette replaced. On this vehicle I have also had the alternator replaced 3 times in 2 years.
