What owners wrote
On the day that the fire occurred, I drove the car approximately 8-10 miles round trip between10:30-10:45 a.m., and then the vehicle was parked in my garage for 3 hours. After that, I drove my car approx. 1 mile, and it was parked outside for a little over an hour. Then, about 30-45 seconds after I began driving my car back home, my son noticed smoke. I didn't see the smoke and thought my window was hazy, so I continued driving.
Driver's side seat warmer gets unbearably hot! The seat seems to only warm on the right side, but it is extremely hot!!
