A recall was previously issued for saab direct ignition cassette failures for model years 2000 through 2002. My 2004 saab 9-5 arc, which has 46,180 miles on it, had to have the di cassette replaced today due to failure. My model year should have been included in this recall due to the limited (less than reasonable) life of the part. *tt

I have owned a 2004 saab 9-5 sport combi wagon since 2006. Twice, over the last several years (2011, 2014), my husband and i have been on the highway and had an ignition switch incident where he was the driver and i was the passenger. In both incidents, i turned around to talk to my daughter (2011) and then daughters (2014) and inadvertently bumped the key in the ignition with my knee. The ignition switch is located in the center of the car by the console. It only took a slight tap of my knee and my car shut off while going at speeds of 75-80 mph on the highway. Fortunately, both times my husband was able to put the car into neutral and get the car off to the side of the road. *tr

I own a 2004 saab 9-5 wagon, which was purchased in nov 2004. There were approximately 31,800 miles on the car at the time of this failure, which occurred in late july 2008. (ironically, less than 2 weeks after having taken the car for routine service/oil change/tire rotation.) after having run 2 errands (i.E. Two stops & starts), i was driving to work on a relatively busy 4-lane road. Just after having come down a hill & rounding a corner, with estimated speed 35mph, the car's engine cut out, the power steering went out, & the brakes seemed not to work appropriately. I was fortunate to be in the right lane, and wound up coasting to a stop in the lane of traffic, as i had so little control of the vehicle that i was not even able to move to what little shoulder was available (the vehicle finally stopped while on a bridge). The vehicle would not restart. Fortunately, traffic behind me became aware that the car had died, and no accidents occurred. Had this failure occurred even 5 or 10 seconds earlier, however, it would almost undoubtedly have caused an accident as i would have been completely unable to navigate the turn coming downhill. After having the vehicle towed to the saab dealership, it was discovered that the "crank sensor failed electrically." fortunately, it was still under warranty & was replaced. I would not have even thought to report this had i not seen reports of similar failures in other saab models. *tr

Purchased the car used 5/23/08 with 42,700 miles from saab dealership. Within a month the headlights worked randomly, check engine light would come on randomly. Called the dealership and was told that it wouldn't hurt anything and should it become more frequent, bring the car in. 8/18 took the car in to dealership when the light was coming on more frequently. Headlight relay replaced, engine light was due to a direct ignition cassette failure. Saab dealership ordered the part which was on national back order, part came in 10/9. Vehicle was taken in 10/6 due to steam coming from under the hood, temperature gauge never moved above the middle. Bypass valve replaced ($450 parts/labor). Vehicle has approx. 48,500 miles and is out of manufacturer warranty and repair is not covered under dealerships limited warranty. After an internet search for information relating to the di cassette failure i found that there was a recall for 2000-2002 models for the same issue. My vehicle is a 2004 saab 9.5 aero sedan. *tr

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 95,000. *tr
