Consumer Description

I LEASE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH HEATED LEATHER SEATS. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE DRIVER SIDE HEATER WENT OUT THEN I NOTICED THAT JUST THE LOWER BACK HEATER CAME ON. ONE DAY IN FEBRUARY AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND 1/2 I GOT HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE OFF MY SWEATSHIRT BUT COULD NOT AS IT WAS MELTED TO MY CELL PHONE CASE. AT FIRST I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED THEN UPON LATER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED A BURN WHOLE IN MY CAR SEAT THAT RAN UP WHAT WAS APPARENTLY THE HEATER WIRE. I AM A PARAPLEGIC AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE CELL PHONE CASE I COULD HAVE BEEN BURNED. MY CONCERN IS FOR OTHERS LIKE ME AND DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE HEAT WHICH COULD MELT A SWEAT SHIRT AND A PHONE CASE THAT IT POTENTIALLY COULD IGNITE CLOTHING. *JB
