OK, I just meant that someone with historical knowledge of 9-5 reliability would probably not be amazed at a DI or other failure before 50k miles. I'm not saying that my experience was reasonable or acceptable; it was miserable, but all the problaems were known problems of 9-5s so it is not a bulletproof car. In my case they were covered by warranty, but I was not pleased with the inconvenience or wasted time.
Good luck with your parts replacement - it was like pulling teeth to get Saab to admit that anything was wrong with the obviously defective DIC - after years of stonewalling, a federal agency forced/convinced them to do the recall after many complaints.
And the poster is also lucky that he got a code for the DIC and didn't have it stall out in the middle of high speed traffic as happened to me and many others.
