Consumer Description

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT WARMER SYSTEM THAT WAS NO LONGER WORKING, I DISCOVERED THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEATED SEATS HAD APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED THE FOAM CUSHION IN EACH OF THE SEATS TO CATCH FIRE. THE WIRING HAD BURNED A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES LONG AND 1-2 INCHES DEEP. FORTUNATELY, THE FIRE DID NOT SPREAD FAR WITHIN THE SEAT. UPON DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
