Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER QUIT WORKING AFTER MY WIFE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT "GETTING SO HOT IT WAS LITERALLY BURNING HER LEGS". I TOOK APART THE SEAT TODAY TO REPLACE THE HEATING PAD BECAUSE I HAD READ ABOUT THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE WAS NOT EXAGGERATING. THERE WERE BURN MARKS ON THE FOAM INSULATION AROUND A CONNECTING PIECE OF THE BOTTOM SEAT HEATER. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, OTHERWISE I PROBABLY WOULD'VE JUST DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AND NEVER WITNESSED THIS MYSELF. *TR
