Saab information display pixel failure. The pixels on the information display have been failing, and now are to the point where almost unusable display. Saab service said it is a common issue, but since the warranty has passed, would have to buy a new display unit(approx. $500) searching on the internet, I have found many people have the same issue. There are even sites set-up to send unit in for repair.(ex. www.sidrepair.com)

The vehicles gvwr is overstated. This is based upon my own and other observations of permanent damage to the vehicle and tires when using the vehicle near the stated gvwr. I personally had a tire blow out on me and have had permanent damage to the tires and/or the vehicle and/or the vehicles suspension components. The manufacturer has to date not be able to fix my vehicle under warranty, despite replacing the entire rear suspension. The vehicle squats dangerously when loaded resulting in unsafe handling.
