Unfortunately I'm in the 5 and over category, but that does include all the Saabs we have ever owned (5 since 1998, I think). And in fact, most of the strandings were due to one recurring fuel pump issue with my wife's 9000.
Reasons for stranding that I can recall:
- slave cylinder failure on 92 900 vert (but only a mile from home)
- ignition switch failure on 92 900 vert (only 2 miles from home)
- ignition switch failure on 98 9000 (5 miles from home)
- fuel pump failure on 98 9000 (3 times - but first repair was a bodge job by non-Saab mechanic - 300, 150 and 10 miles from home)
- positive battery cable corroding to nothing on 98 9000 (my fault for not keeping on top of that - 2 miles from home)
- plastic baggie in the fuel tank blocking the fuel pump (possibly me dropping that in there when I took out the pump to adjust the float to get the gauge to read accurately, or possibly the mechanic who previously repaired it - 3 miles from home)
I bet there's more, but I've blocked them from my mind.
