FREQUENTLY THE CAR STALLS SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC, LOOSES POWER I CAN'T ACCELERATE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS POTENTIAL TO GET HIT. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE CAR VIBRATES AND ALL OF SUDDEN A LOT OF SMOKE COMES OUT FROM BACK AND RICH GASOLINE SMELL COMES AND THE SPEED TURNS TO 0. I TURN IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES AND RESTART SOMETIMES IT STARTS OK SOMETIMES IT VIBRATES AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY

IN MARCH 2017 I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. HAVE FOLLOWED UP SEVERAL TIMES (WITH BOTH SAAB AND GM) AND AM STILL TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND STAYS IN FLORIDA AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WARMER CLIMATES ARE THE HIGHEST RISK AREAS FOR INJURY BY DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS WHEN INFLATED. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME TO HANDLE THE RECALL AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGER AND WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE FROM NHTSA. THANK YOU

INTAKE VALVE ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM SUPPLIED INTAVE VALVES ON 2007-20011 SAABS WITH THE B207 MOTOR. CAR STRUGGLED TO START WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 40 DEGREES. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, THE CAR IDLED ROUGHLY. IN ADDITION CAR STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY PERFORMED A COLD BLOCK COMPRESSION TEST. VALUES WERE WELL BELOW 100 ON 2 OF THE VALVES. THE OTHER TWO TESTED ABOUT 20% BELOW NORMAL. 66K MILES, SERVICED REGULARLY, AND PREMIUM FUEL WAS USED EXCLUSIVELY. ALSO, SOUTHERN CARE FROM DAY 1.
