I was driving to Castle Rock, CO from Parkville, MO on [XXX] for vacation. I used the heated seat feature off and on during the trip. When I arrived in CO at my destination I noticed my thighs were hurting- stinging and hot. I checked my thighs and saw they were red and blisters were forming. I went to urgent care and I referred to the ER- I was given information about how to treat 2nd/3rd degree burns.
