Check Engine Light On problems of the 2003 SAAB 95

I was driving on the highway when my cruise control shut off and the check engine light came on. When I came to a stop my entire car died. I was stuck at a stop light in the middle of rush hour. I had to hold my left foot on the brake and pump the gas pedal to get the car to rev, but it wouldn't continue to idle. It kept dying. I had to use both the brake pedal and the gas pedal to get it off the highway to a side street, which was extremely dangerous. Several times the car died. I took it to a gm certified repair shop who after three diagnostic checks determined the ignition module needed to be replaced along with the spark plugs because the engine was misfiring. I want SAAB to recall this part and pay for the repair. It is the exact same part and problem that they recalled for 2000-2002 vehicles. It makes absolutely no sense that the 2003 part has not been recalled. This is a serious safety hazard and something needs to be done to fix it and I should not have to pay for it.

Car stalled while cruising at 75 miles per hour on a busy interstate. Car could not be restarted, even after pulling to the side of the road. No prior indication of imminent failure was givenã‚â¦the engine simply cut out and check engine light came on. Dealer diagnosed as the failure of as a bad throttle body. This is a known weakness in the car for which SAAB has been trying to find a solution for years. The servicing dealer was surprised that the part was not in stock since it fails often. Many people have throttle body problems which trigger limp home mode and require a cleaning and/or replacement of the throttle body. Reportedly newer software triggers a check engine light before complete failure. This early warning was not given this case. It is completely unacceptable that this should still be an issue on a 2003 model year vehicle when the problem first showed itself in 1998. Does someone have to die in a rear end collision before SAAB or the NHTSA will act on this?.
