Consumer Description

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY DTS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MELTING PLASTIC/SMOKE SMELL WHENEVER I WOULD TURN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED/VENTILATED SEAT HEATER. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON WIRING PROBLEM ON THE BUICK AND CADILLAC MODELS AND THAT I SHOULD STOP USING THE HEATED SEAT FUNCTION BECAUSE THE WIRING IS UNDERSIZED AND CAN MELT AND BURN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE NEW PART HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE LARGER WIRING BUT THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AT THIS TIME SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. *JS
