Front Seat Recliner Problems of Chevrolet Cavalier

We have three Chevrolet Cavaliers (years: 1999, 2000, 2004). All three of these vehicles have at least one crack in the part of the dash that is immediately next to the windshield. The concern is in a significant crash if this crack would cause facial or upper body injuries or even death. In addition, only the 2004 Cavalier has had repeated issues with the drivers seat -- springs are coming through the rear upper portion of the seat, the seat cushion is less on the left side of the drivers seat than the right and the recliner handle has broken twice (was repaired once by tincher williams Chevrolet in london, ky; but remains broken today). Today's date was used because there has been no actual incident.

Driver's seat moving backward while driving. Appointment being made with dealer concerning this matter.

I was a passenger in my car that was rear-ended on 12/26/99 at approx 55-60 mph while waiting for oncoming traffic to make a left-hand turn. This pushed us into the oncoming traffic lane stopping withing 2-3 inches front a front end collision. The passenger front seat slid forward to the dashboad,causing my legs and wrists to hit the dashboard. This caused severe bruising and contusions to my shins (the worst being my right leg), my wrists were sprained from dashboard, neck whiplashed both sides and spinal/low back pain from pelvis being pushed up, causing compression on lower spine, lower right abdominal pain with nausea, diarreah and low grade fevers. Saying maybe appendix or muscular. I remember slamming into dashboard even with seatbelt on. My seat was completely again the dash with exception of room needed for legs to hit it. The seat must have or I could have pushed seat back afterimpact. The seat is now not moving at all. GMC says since an adjuster paid partial settlement to body shop they will not do anything about it. . . I have limited tort insurance, 2 kids and now not working, and in need of money until insurance pays me monthly what I would be making at work. What do I do?.
