NHTSA complaint: 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML350 — SEATS
Traveling on my way home from Arizona and as my back was hurting turned on heated seatsâ¦I also had air conditioning running due to dogs in back seatâ¦I started noticing what felt like a pinching sensation where my butt and legs meetâ¦Stopped thr car at next rest area and noticed butt really hurt when I slid out of carâ¦felt back there and area and hurt like heck..got into my Rv that a friend was driving and looked at it!! 2nd degree blisters/burns from heated seats!! I thought âwhat the heck?âas I didnât have any marks on the seat!! Clearly the temperature spiked and causes the burns!â I looked it up and see that MB has had a long history of thisâ¦and major litigation. But no recall!! I have pictures!! (But for obvious reasons canât send here) I had a miserable ride home and the pain continues! It is embarrassing but I want to make sure other unsuspecting people donât have this happen! Plus, I want it fixedâ¦!
