Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SEAT HEATER GOT VERY HOT AND THEN STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON. I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE WIRES HAD OVERHEATED AND ACTUALLY BURNED THE FOAM AND COVERING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND PICTURES ON THE INTERNET. I REMOVED MY SEAT AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM ASTOUNDED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO STOP THE USE OF THESE DEFECTIVE HEATERS. THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A VERY SERIOUS FIRE AND BURN HAZARD. *TR
