Consumer Description

GEARBOX MALFUNCTION, INTERMITTENT SHIFTING OR SUDDEN DECELERATION WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL 2006. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL AUGUST 2006 WHEN THE FIRST GEARBOX MALFUNCTION LIGHT WAS INDICATED WITH AN INABILITY FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT. SINCE THE FIRST GEARBOX MALFUNCTION THE 2003 93 SAAB HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE (UNDER WARRANTY) SIX TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 49 DAYS. I HAVE ASKED FOR GM/SAAB TO TAKE/BUY THE CAR BACK. MY CAR WAS IN THE AUTHORIZED SAAB SERVICE GARAGE (PORTLAND SAAB) FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2006 WHERE THE ENTIRE TRANSAXLE WAS REPLACED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT COLDBROOK SAAB (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR) FOR ANOTHER GEARBOX MALFUNCTION. *NM
