I have never had this happen once in the 20+ years I have been driving Classic 900s or older Volvo. Could it be the design of the electrical systems in the newer Saabs - too high a charge rate maybe? I have heard a Cadillac owner mention this happening once. Evans Park wrote: > This happened to my 97 900S a few years ago, it was still under > warrenty at the time so I brought it to the dealer.
