Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BEEN SO HOT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT CAN BURN YOUR SKIN. TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SHE LOOKED DOWN ON HER SEAT AND IT WAS SMOKING AND BURNED THE LEATHER. THE SEAT WAS ACTUALLY CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO YOU. I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE REPORTING NO COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.
