What owners wrote
When turning on the driver's side seat warmer it got extremely hot. Recently it actually burned the seat foam and began to smoke. I will not use it anymore for fear of a fire. Thank you for looking into this issue.
Smoke from the dash was noted. It came from the junction of the instrument panel and the upper part of the steering column. The smell of burnt plastic remained in the car for ~4 hours. The car was taken to a honda dealer (fairfeild honda - williamsport, pa). It has been there for 4 1/2 weeks and they haven't been able to find the cause?
