Engine & coolingElectrical systemFire

I own a 2001 saab 95 se v6. Was driving down the nj tpk and the car lost power and had a small electrical like fire under the hood. Had to get the car towed from the nj turnpike off and then again to my place in bensalem pa. Total cost $77 + 66. Found out that the di cassette burned out, cost me approx $600 to fix. A day later the cat converter fails (check engine light came on again). This is certainly due to di cassette burning out. Very frustrating for a car with only 60k miles on it. *Nm

After bringing in to dearler many times for "engine light" and being told it was nothing I proceeded with maintenance.Due to late oil change dealer claims, after oil change, and complaint from me that there was a flutter sound in the system; they offer to repair for approx 3500 with no guarantee. My car is not abused and is new. After discussing with outside repair it seems this is a problem due to the oil used by saab. Apparently there are presently six other vehicles at outside repair shops changing oil...
