Description of the problem | Was driving with seat heater on. The seat felt very hot on my legs at it smelled like something was burning. I immediately turned off the seat heater. I pulled into a parking lot and exited the car. I noticed a burn mark on the drivers side seat. There is a matching burn mark on the wool coat i was wearing. The coat is what prevented me from being injured. I have pictures of the damage if you need it. |
