Consumer Description
Had just picked up my car from being repaired from an accident and was just driving along and I turned the seat heater on and I started seeing smoke coming from under me and was getting hot so I pulled over and found my seat was on fire ,I was 9 months pregnant at the time and feared for me and my soon to be child's life. I called the fire department where they put the fire out for me.I had it then sent to Acura to check it and they are telling me this is my fault and are charging me $319 for looking at it.I feel that this was a faulty part and is a danger to me, It is currently at the collision repair center which I took it back to and refuse to drive because I am very scared to drive it now. Seems to be a seat heater issue.
