Consumer Description

SEAT WARMER BURNED A HOLE IN DRIVERS SEAT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS A VERY COLD DAY HERE AND I HAVE LOTS OF LAYERS ON SO I DID NOT FEEL THE BURN FOR A WHILE. WHEN I FELT IT BURN ME AND SMELLED THE LEATHER BURNING I SHUT OFF THE SEAT WARMERS. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT WILL COST $800 TO BE REPLACED. YIKES - WHAT IF THE SEAT WARMER ACCIDENTALLY GETS TURNED ON WHEN I AM OUTSIDE MY VEHICLE - WHEN IT IS BELOW ZERO OUTSIDE I WARM UP MY CAR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES -WILL MY CAR CATCH ON FIRE? *TR
