  SEATS

  HOT SPOT IN THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT FROM THE SEAT HEATER. THE FAILURE WAS THE HEATING ELEMENT BURNED A NICKEL-SIZED HOLE THROUGH THE LEATHER SEAT, THROUGH MY WINTER COAT, AND SINGED MY PANTS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONCE I NOTICED THE SMOKE RISING FROM THE COAT AFTER SMELLING SOMETHING VERY BAD. I DIDN'T FEEL THE HEAT DUE TO THE WINTER COAT. THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE SEAT AS THE HEATING ELEMENT AND SEAT ARE ONE COMPONENT. *TR
