I have the 2001 V6 model and have tried on 5 attemps to get this problem fixed--all within warranty period at dealership. They have replaced the mass airflow sensor, cleaned the throttle body about twenty-nine times (okay probably three or four), replaced the spark plugs, upgraded software to most current, and a few other things, all to no avail. Car still stalls on cold starts and stumbles for the first 30 ft. or so of driving.

They acknowledge that there is a problem but say that SAAB doesn't have a fix for it. I have always ran premium fuel, I have given the car several bottles of Techron, all service has been completed and has been all at the dealership.

SAAB USA is of absolutely no help, although they say they're there to help. I spent over an hour on the phone with them last weekh..no progress. We are simply suppose to live with it which is completely unacceptable. I have sent SAAB USA a letter of intent via certified mail requesting that they fix this problem or help me into a new vehicle if there truly isn't a fix (there is).

Hopefully we all can work together (all the V6 owners having this issue) to get SAAB to step up to the plate.

For the record, this problem does not affect all V6s (obviously). I've been driving a colleague's 1999 9-5 V6 with 85,000 miles and it runs beautifully, no stalling/sluggish issues at all.

I have a feeling this problem is more serious than we think, SAAB wants nothing to do with it.
