problem #3

After I stopped I felt the seat go back. I found the bracket that attached the seat frame to the sliding track had cracked. The metal appears to be too brittle and thin for the application. I am a reliability engineer with significant structural failure background and it appears the thin metal (~1/16") shattered from imbrittlement or some similar process.
