Three times this summer, on a bumpy dirt road, my 1999 9-3 popped out of second gear accelerating up a hill. It is the same road I drove with no incident in a 1991 Maxda 626 for 8 years. Two Saab dealers told me that manual transmissions do these sorts of things, and that they could see nothing wrong. I think cars should stay in gear in all circumstances. Has anyone else experienced this?
