I agree. Then how would you account for the fact that I can't use my car that way? The only way I can think of is that the payload number must be incorrect. If I run anywhere near the limit my dampers, springs, and rear subframe fail (along with the tires). I took the car to the dealer today with 800 lbs of joint compound distributed across the trunk and collapsed back seat and less than half a tank of gas(my 9-5 is rated at 920 lbs excluding the driver). The sags in static load such that the tires almost completely disappear into the wheel well. On larger bumps it feels like it is bottoming out. The dealer said "no problem verified." It seems crystal clear that I am never gonna get anywhere with this issue without suing Saab. I can't even fix it with better springs and shocks because the subframe is failing as well.
