| My saab is a 2008 9-3 aero with a 6 speed automatic transmission. ever since i bought it in october 2010, when i try to accelerate while already at speed (i.e., passing maneuver) the engine/transmission sputters and does not immediately accelerate. the stuttering makes passing in traffic a risky/dangerous move. i have made several trips to the dealer for investigation and am repeatedly told that this is the normal behavior for the automatic transmission. (i have never had an automatic transmission car act like this.) nearly two years later, i still have the same thing occurring. | |||
