What is wrong
The vehicle failed to comply with fmvss 208. The driver's chest resultant acceleration exceeded the allowable 60 g's in a crash test when the seat height changes adjustment under severe frontal impact.
The risk

The fix
Install a damper on the underside of the driver's seat cushion, between the cushion frame and the seat track. In a severe frontal impact the damper will hydraulically lock, preventing a change in seat height.
