| 2003 | SEATS | I HAD ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES HAPPENED WITH MY CAR TODAY. IM ON MY WAY TO THE STORE TO GET DETERGENT BEFORE HEADING TO LAUNDROMAT. I NOTICED WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO START IT UP THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS EXTREMELY WARM WHICH WAS STRANGE BECAUSE THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND IT IS WINTER. AS I LET THE CAR WARM UP I REALIZED THAT THE SEAT BECAME HOT AND WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE IT BECAME HOTTER TO THE POINT WHERE IT FELT MY THIGHS AND REAR WERE BURNING. I HAD TO PUT A BLANKET ON THE SEAT JUST TO GET SOME RELIEF. I MADE IT TO THE LAUNDROMAT BUT BY THE TIME I'D FINISHED WASHING AND TOOK MY BELONGINGS BACK TO THE CAR I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE BLANKET OFF THE SEAT AND NOTICED A BURN STAIN ON THE SEAT. THE SEAT WAS STILL EXTREMELY HOT AND I WAS IN TOTAL DISBELIEF. I WAS REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE HOME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE CAR WOULD CATCH FIRE OR IF I WOULD SUFFER ANY BURNS. THE CRAZY PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT I NEVER TURNED ON THE SEAT WARMER AND HAD NOT USED IT FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE I TRY NOT TO USE IT ALL THE TIME. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE OFF WORK AND TAKE IT TO THE AUTO SHOP TO SEE HOW I CAN RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM WHICH IM HOPING WILL NOT COST AN "ARM AND LEG". IM SO DISAPPOINTED RIGHT NOW. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 8YRS NOW AND CAN SAY THAT I NEVER EXPECTED THIS TO HAPPEN. I JUST KNOW THAT THIS HAS TOTALLY TURNED ME AWAY FROM THE THOUGHT OF HAVING HEATED SEATS IN MY NEXT CAR. SO SAD!!!! *TR |
