description: WHILE DRIVING LAST NIGHT , I STARTED TO FEEL SOMETHING HOT IN THE SEAT, AND WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. I LEANED FORWARD AND LOOKED BACK AT THE SEAT, AND IT HAD A FLAME COMING OUT OF A HOLE MELTED IN THE LEATHER. (LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT) LUCKILY, I WAS WEARING A COAT AND DRIVING IN AN AREA THAT I COULD PULL OVER QUICKLY. AFTER I HOPPED OUT & TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS, IT CONTINUED TO SPARK AS MY SON AND I WAITED OUTSIDE IN THE COLD FOR SOMEONE TO COME PICK US UP. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE, BUT I'M STARTING TO HEAR THAT THIS IS NOT THAT UNCOMMON OF A AN OCCURRENCE. THANKS! *TR
