Optima

  • 43,101 miles
I noticed a burning smell and thought that my engine was burning. I looked down toward the floor and noticed smoke coming from under the driver's seat. Although the seat warmer is not on, I also noticed the seat seems to be heating. I noticed while sitting at a light after having driven about a mile or so.
