Most all seats will break in a rear ender. That's a lot of force.
If you think it is a vehicle defect then you need to bring it up to
NHTSA. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/

I think the law requires you to send a letter to the Engineering Division at
DaimlerChrysler thanking them for designing a vehicle that allowed you to
live through such a catastrophic accident.

Re: Broken seats on Jeep GC
If you are looking for someone with deep pockets, go sue the person who
hit you.
If you are trying to find fault with the vehicle, sounds like it did
everything right: air bags did NOT deploy since it was a rear end
collision. Seats took a major load but broke the hinge to allow less
aggresive acceleration. If you had been wearing the seat belt you would
not have been flung forward in the secondary collision.

Re: Broken seats on Jeep GC
The other driver wouldn't have the deep pockets of a car manufacturer.
The OP should be asking a professional such questions.
