Description of the problem | The left side of the drivers side seat heater has overheated and burned through the leather and my pants. There appears to be similar complaints on this website and a nhtsa recall bulletin number 04v575000 for older 5 series vehicles. I think this investigation should be expanded since so many people have experienced this behavior....... Updated 12/03/15*bf |
