Consumer Description

DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY MY 2001 SAAB SE CONVERTIBLE ENGINE JUST STOPPED - ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP - SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I, FORTUNATELY, WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER PRIOR TO BEING HIT BY ANY CARS ON THIS 3-LANE HIGHWAY. PREVIOUSLY, I HAVE HAD MY IGNITION CASSETTE REPLACED - IT SEEMS THAT IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, ALTHOUGH I HAVE UNDER 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR (NO ACCIDENTS) I HAVE SPENT OVER $4,000 IN REPAIRS TO DATE (NOT COUNTING THE NUMEROUS TIMES IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING REPAIRS DONE UNDER WARRANTY). I HAVE GONE PAST THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON THE LEMON LAW - OTHERWISE I WOULD FILE FOR THAT. CONSTANTLY THE DASH IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON - EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN, THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG (YET I HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSIS CHARGE).*JB
