| I have owned 4 different saab models and i have allays had heated seats. this last winter while wearing a suit and wool overcoat i felt a burning sensation on my back. i immediately turned my seat off, when i got out of the car there where coil burn marks in my leather seat. there has to be a safety issue if a heated seat coil can burn through leather, and can be felt through an inch of wool... *tr | |||

| My 2003 saab 9-3 vector started to have a burning sensation on the driver's seat under my left thigh. it was so hot that i had to put a towel under my leg when the heated seat was on. eventually, after 2 months of this, the heated seat quit working all together. i did take it in for maintenance and they told me i would have to bring it back again to have them disassemble the seat. i have read on saab chatlines that it's a common problem and people have been getting their seat leather replaced because of burn marks. i think this is a very real safety issue that should called to light. i have been told it's a bad heating element.*ak | |||
