NHTSA Complaint #10033177 — 2003 SAAB 9-3

I PICKED UP MY CAR ON FEBRUARY 24, 2003 AT NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS TESTING THE CD PLAYER IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT WORK. SO I BROUGHT BACK THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO FIX SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER. ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 MONTH OLD SON AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BRING IT INTO SAAB IT STALLED ANOTHER 2 TIMES. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE SOME COMPUTER. ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER I STARTED NOTICING THAT I WAS HAVING SERIOUS PICKUP ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I WAS ACCELERATING AFTER A RED LIGHT I COULD HIT THE GAS AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND I STILL WOULDNT MOVE FOR A SOLID 2 SECONDS. THIS ALMOST BECAME DISASTROUS WHEN A TRUCK NEARLY HIT ME BECAUSE I COULDNT MOVE THE CAR. AGAIN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND AGAIN THEY REPLACED SOME COMPUTER. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR SO THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE COMPUTER. NOW ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE CAR SEEMS TO BE HAVING THE FIRST STAGES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IM TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY LEASE BUT SAAB SAYS THEY BELIEVE MY CAR IS FIXED. *AK
