Consumer Description

RIGHT PASSENGER HEATED SEAT OVERHEATED AND CHARRED LEATHER SEAT COVER BEFORE I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I'VE REMOVED FUSE TO THIS SEAT, BUT MY SEAT IS RUINED. MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAID HE HAS HAD THREE OTHER GM VEHICLES TO DO THIS AND EVEN CAUGHT ONE MAN'S COAT ON FIRE LAYING IN THE SEAT. BUT , HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON HIS RECORDS FROM GM. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A FIVE OR SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR REPAIR BILL IF I HAVE IT FIXED. I CAN'T TAKE FUSE OUT FOR DRIVER,S SEAT, AS IT ALSO CONTROLS ANOTHER FUNCTION ON CAR. NOW I'M AFRAID IT WILL OVERHEAT AND I'LL BE BURNED LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS I'VE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. SEE WWW.CARSTATS.COM/SAFETYSTATION.ASP. *TR
