Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HEATER STOPPED WORKING. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND WAS PROBABLY DUE TO A BURNT UP CONNECTION AT SEAT HEATER AMP LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND TOLD THEM THERE IS A VISIBLY BURNT CONNECTION BUT WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE I WAS 600 MILES PAST WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.WITH ALL THE IMAGES OF BURNT CONNECTORS THIS SEEMS TO BE A FIRE HAZARD.
