I turned my heated seat on in my Audi A4. I felt it getting really hot in one spot and smelled something burning. I got out and looked at my seat to find a hole burnt in the seat. I contacted Audi they told me to bring to the nearest service center. They told me that because my car is not under warranty there is nothing they can do about it.
