Consumer Description

WE OWN A 2004 HONDA PILOT EX. WE'VE NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WARMER HAS BEEN GETTING EXTREMELY WARM TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS BURNING US THROUGH OUR PANTS WHICH HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE EARLY NOVEMBER 2010. ON DECEMBER 26, 2010, WE STARTED THE CAR, TURNED ON THE SEAT WARMER AND LEFT THE CAR FOR 10 MINUTES TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE. WHEN WE CAME BACK OUTSIDE AND OPENED THE CAR DOOR, WE SMELLED SMOKE AND NOTICED IT WAS COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. IT ALSO LEFT A BROWN SPOT. HAD WE NOT COME TO THE CAR AT THAT TIME, WE BELIEVE IT WOULD'VE STARTED A FIRE HAD IT SAT THERE FOR ANOTHER FEW MINUTES. WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY USING THE SEAT WARMER UNTIL WE BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. *TR
