| Upon turning on my driver's side heated seat, one part of my back seemed to be getting extremely hot. upon turning around, i saw a small hole had been burned in the seat cover and was smoldering and smoking. i immediately turned off the seat warmer. it took many minutes to cool down and stop smoking. thankfully the vehicle was stationary when this happened. if it had been in motion, my safety would certainly have been comprised, as i could have sustained burns before pulling the car to the side of the road. the distraction of a burning seat is also not an insignificant safety hazard as well. | |||
