NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING, AND SMOKE EMANATING FROM LEFT SIDE OF DRIVER'S SEAT. FELT AROUND AND MY HAND WAS BURNED. PULLED OVER TO FIND THAT THE HEATING ELEMENT INSIDE THE SEAT HAD BURNED THROUGH THE CUSHION AND LEATHER LEAVING A HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE ALSO HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
