Q: Hesitation in second and third gear
There is hesitation in second and third gear after 20 minutes of driving or if hot out.
I would recommend taking this to the dealership. There is a Technical Service Bulletin for the early Saab transmissions stating that there is a software update that can resolve this issue. I would have this issue taken care of sooner than later to prevent any further damage.
