Front Seat Power Adjust problems of the 1996 Chevrolet C1500

Front seat mount, gm power seats. I am a automotive design engineer, my company makes the seat in question, but I do not work for that division. The lower front mount cracked and failed when I was leaning back on my seat while driving down the freeway, I was thrown into the back cab, I almost lost control of my truck. I investigated the failure and found that it is due to a very poor design. This mount has to eventually fail, because a bolt is inserted in the middle of a very thin sheet metal mount plate, every time there is a load placed on that seat, this flange bends beyond its elastic limit, this flange will eventually crack. I have repaired this myself but I would like to warn others of this problem my vechicle is a 1996 cheverolet z-71 silverado pick up truck with the 6 way power bucket seats. Thank you.

Driver's electric bucket seat riser is broken, causing the seat to become loose. Dealer has replaced seat track and risers. Defect is still occurring.
