## Narrative
Driver side electric Seat rail malfunction after I was hit from the rear end collision.  The seat electric adjustment became inoperable.  The seat rail has a small gear in the electric seat that got destroyed during the rear end collision.    Is the seat designed for damping, if so why does the driver side electric seat become inoperable?
