Consumer Description

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BUG BITING MY REAR SIDE, ENDING UP BEING THE SEAT ON FIRE! I HAD TURNED ON THE SEAT WARMER AND NOT EVEN A MINUTE OR TWO LATER, THE WIRE IN THE SEAT WAS ON FIRE WHEN I PULLED OVER AND LEFT A HOLE IN MY SEAT. CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IT COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR ON A ROAD THAT I COULDN'T PULL OVER ON. CHILDREN IN THE CAR VERY WORRIED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF MERCEDES OWNER, ALL HAPPENING ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE. ANY RECALLS? NOT WEAR AND TEAR! *TR
