Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEATED SEAT CONNECTOR AND HEATER AMP BURNED UP AND SHORTED OUT. THIS CONNECTOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. I FEEL THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA USA THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. ONE DAY LAST WEEK THE HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC.
