problem #1

Jan 252008

Legacy 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 43,854 miles
The heated seats in the Subaru Legacy GT limited have an element that "arcs" on to itself. Mine had a burn hole in the fabric upon replacement. This represents a fire hazard. Possible symptoms are bottom of the seat heating, but not the back, and vice versa.
