Consumer Description

WHEN ON HIGH, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WARMER WILL LITERALLY LEAVE BURN MARKS ON MY RIGHT LEG. IT HAS WORKED NORMAL UNTIL THIS FALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND IT BURNED MY LEG. IT CAN NOT BE ON MORE THAN A MINUTE OR WILL LEAVE BURN MARKS ON THE RIGHT LEG. THE LEFT SIDE STILL SEEMS NORMAL. I CHECKED AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS, BUT IN LOOKING INTO IT HAD HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS AND THE SEAT HAS STARTED TO SMOKE.
