Consumer Description

ON A VERY COLD DAY, I GOT INTO MY CAR, AND TURNED ON THE SEAT HEATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY X3. I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND THE SIDE OF MY WAIST FELT HOT AS IF I WAS ON FIRE. I REALIZED THAT IT MUST BE THE SEAT HEATER SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF. I STOPPED MY CAR, GOT OUT AND NOTICED MY COAT HAD BEEN BURNT. I NOTICED A BURNED HOLE ON THE SIDE OF MY SEAT, IN WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF MY COAT CATCHING FIRE. *TR
