“Purchased a 2007 Saab 9-5 wagon in feb 2010 with 14,000 miles still under both bumper to bumper original manufacturer warranty and pre-certified warranty. 5 weeks later in march 2010, car stalled on I-95 while traveling 70-75 miles per hour in south caroline at least 4 times with 2 different drivers. Thank goodness we were in south carolina not at home in nyc area where I am sure we would have had an accident. Saab towed the car and said the throttle body needed replacement. The car still does not shift gears smoothly. …”
