Last week I was rear-ended at a fairly high speed on the freeway. At the moment of impact the driver's side seatback failed, going into a fully reclined position and thereby providing no support. Anyone heard of this happening?

Yes, happened to me -luckily not from being hit but from a rather large mechanic who stretched as he got in and broke the seat. He refused to believe he had caused it even after I pointed out what was broken. (the dealership has since closed) The problem really is Dodges': on their power seats the ENTIRE seat connection is a cotter pin to the little piston rod the moves the seat back and forth. It is 1/2 inch long and visible if you look under there. Good luck fixing it.
