About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I was driving the car in December 2017 on the highway. I turned on the heated seat for the driver's side of the car. The heater heated up until it was burning my buttocks (it felt like a bee-sting). I turned the seat off and it stopped burning. This has happened every time I have attempted to turn the heated seat on since that time regardless of the car being in motion or in park. Occasionally, I smell an odor that smells like wires burning. I took the car to the dealership and was told that the heater in the bottom and back of the driver's seat needs to be replaced; however, it is not covered as a safety concern (because a recall has not been issued for the seat heaters) nor is it covered under the extended warranty that was purchased with the automobile.
