And I thought I was the only one! 2002 9-5 Arc, V-6 turbo, auto tranny. There is a specific stretch of road where the car will die. It always does so in the same place, but at seemingly random times. Luckily this is a 35mph road. I shudder at the thought of this happening on the interstate at 75mph. Needless to say, the dealer (still under warrantee) can't figure it out. After the 5th time it happened they took it, attached a continuous recorder to the engine computer, had a staffer take it home overnight to see if they could replicate the stall. Nope. They got a continuous recording of >24hrs use, but since it didn't stall they didn't have a clue. The place of doom is at the top of a very slight rise, before a traffic light. Usually I (or my wife) will let off the accelerator about 2/3 of the way up the hill ... and as I crest the hill the engine dies and the electric system acts kinda weird. However, it starts right up if I through it into neutral and hit the key. Oh well, Saabs are supposed to be quirky, aren't they?
