| I was driving a 1995 chevrolet caprice and was stopped while attempting to enter the highway. i was hit in the rear by a car going 50 mph who did not see that i was stopped. the drivers seat collapsed into the reclined position and threw me into the rear seat. my seat belt was on and limited my movement. in addition, i pulled on the steering wheel and broke it at the 10 o'clock and partially seperated at the 2 o'clock positions. the failure of the seat caused injury to myself with no support to my neck and head. my question is: is the seat designed to support my weight (6'0, 194 lbs.) under these conditions or is it designed to collaspe as it did allowing me to come unsecurred from the seat belt restraint system? secondly, was there a safety recall, service bulletin, or defect investigation on this vehicle? i examined your web site and found no indication or report on this situation. i appreciate your assistance on this matter.*ak | |||
