DJ US NHTSA Investigating Reports Of Stalling Saab Sedans
WASHINGTON (AP)--The government is investigating Saab's 2003 9-3 sedan after receiving 16 complaints of the vehicles stalling without warning.
The stalling led to at least one reported accident but no injuries, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday. The stalling allegedly occurred during cruising, acceleration and deceleration at speeds of up to 40 mph.
Saab spokesman Kevin Smith said the company is aware of the problem and believes it can be solved if dealers reprogram the vehicle's computer with 2004 software. He said Saab intends to recall the vehicles, but hasn't yet notified consumers.
The agency said some consumers reported that dealers have already reprogrammed their vehicles and fixed the problem.
Smith said there are about 30,000 9-3 sedans on U.S. roads.
