AT 8AM JANUARY 12, 2011 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN A BLIZZARD. I FELT A SLIGHT PAIN/PINCH FROM MY SEAT AND QUICKLY MOVED THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING FROM MY POCKET. I RESUMED DRIVING AND AGAIN FELT A MUCH GREATER PAIN CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND CAUSE A NEAR COLLISION. VERY FRIGHTENED, I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR (MID TRAFFIC IN BLIZZARD) TO FIND MY SEAT SCORCHED THROUGH APPARENTLY FROM THE SEAT WARMER. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING AT A GREATER SPEED AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OR FATAL. WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE SEAT? ALTHOUGH I HAVE TURNED THE WARMER OFF, I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *TR
