I had a professional engineer examine my car at near full load. His opinion was the suspension is underdesigned and defective. The springs are unable to support the payload and retain enough travel room for dynamic loading. That somehow overloads the subframe and it yields. NHTSA confirmed that subframe deformation is unacceptable.
So in actuality the defect is multifaceted being both an underdesigned suspension (spring/damper/both) with a side issue of an underdesigned subframe.
