AND BURNED MY LEG SLIGHTLY.*AK ***WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID "YEAH, THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING, WE'RE CALLING THE CARS 'HOT PANTS'" THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE SEATS ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD A CAR THERE FOR OVER A WEEK THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
