Yeah... It's strange how many different things cause this mysterious "stalling" problem. Why, just the other day, mine quit on the way to the gas station. I know that the gauge read "E", but really, does SAAB expect us to check those gauges all the time? Another time, I was late for an aerobics class with my mentor and the temperature gauge was at the "H"ot position. I figured I could just tell my SAAB dealer at the next scheduled interval but NO, the damn thing stalled again and wouldn't start. What a piece of crap. I've also heard that the manual transmissions have a stalling problem too, it seems that if you don't let the clutch out just right, the damn thing will stall! I can't believe how far GM has run this once proud brand into the ground.
