Five problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2001 SAAB 95. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On Wednesday, October 30, 2008 at approximately 4:45 pm I experienced a sudden vehicle engine stop. This occurred on a residential 4-lane street while traveling in the right hand lane at approximately 30 mph. The vehicle was a 2001 SAAB 95 arc wagon. . The vehicle suddenly started to run rough and then the engine completely shut off. This caused me to have to glide the auto to the right hand side of the road where there was a curb. I thus remained in a lane of traffic with a disabled vehicle. The cause was a defective crank shaft position sensor. When this becomes inoperative the computer that controls engine management shuts down and disables the car. This required a tow to the dealer repair shop. And it required a new crank shaft sensor part to be installed. The old part is not available. The main irk about this is this is the second time I have replaced this part in 15 months. The original sensor that came wit the car when I purchased it new lasted 87,199 miles and 5. 5 years. The second sensor was replaced on July 16, 2007. The third sensor was replaced at 101,507 miles. . . A mere 15 months and 13 days with a mileage usage of 14,308 miles. Had this failure in October 2008 occurred just 5 minutes before when I was traveling on a six-lane interstate at 60 mph I would have had a serious problem drifting across several lanes of traffic in order to pull over for safety. I believe that SAAB has a supplier providing them with an inferior part.
My 2001 SAAB 9-5 stalled one day all of a sudden after I reached a shopping mall. I took it to a local SAAB dealer and they replaced my ignition system for a charge close to 600 dollars. They spoke to me that it was an isolated event. From the recall notice you release I realize that it was intrinsic manufacturing defect. Thank you all for the good work. I hope I will get a refund.
The car has stalled twice without warning, on the second occasion the vehicle was able to be restarted, in the first instance the dealer replaced the d1 cassette becuse it malfunctioned but in the second instance diagnostic test did not reveal a cause for the shut down. Nlm.
