Consumer Description

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. RECENTLY NOTICED BACKREST PORTION OF DRIVER SEAT OVERHEATS WHEN SEAT HEATER TURNED ON HIGH SETTING AND SMELLS LIKE BURNT POPCORN. THE HEATER HAS CAUSED A HOT ENOUGH TEMPERATURE TO BURN THROUGH THE LEATHER SEAT CREATING AN APPROXIMATELY 2MM SIZE BURN IN THE DRIVER'S BACKREST. I ALSO NOTICED BROWN DISCOLORATION IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BASE AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SIMILAR PROBLEMATIC AREA ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BASE WITH A HARDENED LEATHER AREA ABOUT THE SIZE OF A 3X3 POST-IT NOTE. *TR
