| The driver heated seat got so hot that there is now a burn mark on my seat and caused injury to my back. i have a blister, that turned now into a smaller blister and is black. i bought the car brand new back in 2007 and have never had this problem before. if i lower the heat setting for the seat the seat is still very hpt. sometimes i can smell something burning, which smells electrical. i have pictures for evidence of what has taken place. | |||
