Consumer Description

THE DIRECT IGNITION FAILED ON MY 1999 SAAB 93. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON WHICH ALERTED US TO THE PROBLEM. MY AUTHORIZED SAAB MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE WISEST COURSE TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE IT FAILED COMPLETELY. THE COST TO DO SO $500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO REPLACE THIS INHERENTLY FAULTY PART. *JB
