I've had the lever crack before. There are a few problems with the design. One is that although you can put a lot of force on that nice wide lever, the force has to be transmitted through a very thin arm, and so it sees a lot of bending. Second, ever notice in the winter how salt spray likes to get thrown up on the license plate? Salt gets thrown onto the lever arm, but it's protected from cleansing rain, so the salt just sits there and corrodes.
I've researched this, and the only solution is to replace the lever assembly. Saab dealers sell it for about $70 or so. You'll need to do some dissasembly from the inside, but it shouldn't take more than 45 minutes or so.
