The contact stated vehicle stalled, and had to be towed to the dealership. The ignition cassette was replaced. The vehicle is working properly at this time.

  • Manual transmission

The check engine light came on while I was highway driving; I parked the vehicle as soon as possible and didn't use it until the mechanic was available. The diagnostic test showed direct ignition failure, the part was replaced with a new part. Being a long-time Saab owner, of several models, I am aware that certain models have associated problems, such as this part.
