I reported back a couple months ago of re-occuring throotle body issues... 3 service visits later (2 repairs and finally replacement) car seemed fine.... until today....

Driving up to MOA at about 70mph, tcs off and engine light come on and immediately car starts loosing power, until it finally stalls (at intersection). When it stalled both the oil and battery light went on.

I restarted car and the 2 additional (oil and battery) lights went off, but the tcs off and engine light remained on. Car was now in drivable 'limp home mode'. Dropped kids and wife at mall and drove the car to the dealer. Soon as they saw me, they knew.... I now have a loaner, and they are looking at it on Monday...

So, what is happening here? Car is non-CPO (Saab dealer bought though) 01 9-5 se wagon with about 65k miles with all 60k maintenance done, all recalls done (prior to purchase), and I've ONLY owned it only since April 20th. CARFAX was clean. Dealership did first 3 repairs at their cost, but I fear a big $$$ repair is looming here....

My suspicions lean to electrical here since I have (also reported just earlier this week) an intermittent brake light failure message that shows up and disappears on a random basis (TLDR version, no lights out, restart makes message go away).

This has not made me a big Saab fan and if Mike Lynch or any dealer can comment, is it possible to return car back to dealer and buy a CPO one or something? If I choose to get rid of car for something else (like a Volvo gasp!) or similar, will other dealer assume remainder of loan on car, as part of tradein value... (Paid ~15K for car in first place).

Yeah I know lotsa questions here... :( Hopefully someone has some insight into whats going on with my Saab....

Signed,
Saabless in St.Paul, MN.
