Consumer Description

I AM WRITING THIS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD WITH THE SEAT WARMERS IN 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICAL TO THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE MY SEAT WARMER WOULD GET WARMER THAN USUAL AND AFTER 2 TO 3 MINUTES WOULD SHUT OFF. COME TO FIND OUT THE SEAT WARMER PAD HAD SHORTED OUT AND BURNT. I HAVE THE SEAT WARMER PAD THAT IS CHARCOALED AND BURNT. I HAVE CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO GM REPRESENTIVES 4 TIMES INFORMING THEM OF THE FIRE HAZARD ALL I GET IS THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, MY VEHICLE HAS TO MANY MILES AND I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP OTHER THAN GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE AWARE AND GM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. *CN
