| In april 2011, when i started my car my engine light came on. i had very little power on acceleration until my car hit 2000 rpm. a diagnostic showed it was a throttle position sensor. first occurrence was six months ago, it has happened at least 20 times since. the car will act like this for 2 days then work normal again. i have to proceed with extreme caution pulling out in traffic. i also take off extremely slow from any full stops i make. it is hit or miss every time i start my car. | |||

| Repeated attempts to tighten gas cap have failed, and results in the cel (check engine light). since the cap's mechanism is obviously worn out, and this is emissions related, i feel that it should be covered under extended emission warranty. *tr | |||

| The engine on my 2005 saab 9-3 has failed two times within the first 4900 miles on the odometer. the first failure occurred in june of 2005 and the problem was diagnosed as a throttle body failure. the failure results in the car accelerating extremely slow without any prior notice. the second failure occurred on july 18, 2005 when i was nearly hit making a left hand turn. the same symptoms presented without any indication that there was a failure about to occur. i have researched the saabnet website and it appears i am not alone in falling victim to the defective throttle body in the saab 9-3 model. it appears to be a pervasive problem. saab's attorney indicated that this did not rise to the level of a recall nor a problem that require replacement of the vehicle. *jb | |||
