While I was driving home to Colorado from Arizona after visiting family for the Christmas holidays, a burning smell was detected. Then the car starting filling up with smoke. My adult daughter was sitting in the passenger seat and said her butt was on fire. I pulled my vehicle over as soon as I could. Once I had pulled over, she opened her passenger door, and jumped out. I looked over at her passenger seat and saw bright orange coils burning a hole in the seat. I grabbed my water bottle and doused the area with water to put the fire out. I didn't care if it was an electrical fire... my little two year old grandson was also sitting in the backseat in his booster seat and I didn't want my car to further burn. This really should be a recall! There could have been some serious injuries involved. I got no compensation for anything! All I got was the headache and a large burnt hole in my passenger seat. BUYER BEWARE!!!
