| I had one of the worst experiences happened with my car today. im on my way to the store to get detergent before heading to laundromat. i noticed when i entered the vehicle to start it up that the driver seat was extremely warm which was strange because the car sat overnight and it is winter. as i let the car warm up i realized that the seat became hot and when i started to drive it became hotter to the point where it felt my thighs and rear were burning. i had to put a blanket on the seat just to get some relief. i made it to the laundromat but by the time i'd finished washing and took my belongings back to the car i smelled something burning. that's when i noticed smoke coming from the drivers seat. i immediately took the blanket off the seat and noticed a burn stain on the seat. the seat was still extremely hot and i was in total disbelief. i was really scared to drive home because i didn't know if the car would catch fire or if i would suffer any burns. the crazy part about this is that i never turned on the seat warmer and had not used it for a few days because i try not to use it all the time. now i have to take off work and take it to the auto shop to see how i can rectify this problem which im hoping will not cost an arm and leg. im so disappointed right now. i've had this car for 8yrs now and can say that i never expected this to happen. i just know that this has totally turned me away from the thought of having heated seats in my next car. so sad!!!! *tr | |||
