I've owned cars for 40 years. And not once in 40 years, has the ash from a cigarette caused a seat to immediately burn. And I mean burn. Not just a burn on the outside of the fabric, but deep down into the padded material within seconds. Thankfully, I was able to put it out in the heavy smoke phase, before it turned into a full blown burning flame, burning the entire car seat and car. After my experience, it floored me that wasn't discovered during any type of testing that might be done on a vehicle. A major safety issue in my mind. I decided to report it now, because I'm surprised nobody else has. Considering there aren't a lot of cigarette smokers it's not surprising I guess.

As I was driving down the street applied my brakes to slow down at a red light my driver's seat slid forward very fast pinning me against the steering wheel. At that time my leg was folded cause I was up against dash and it made me slam my brakes on very fast and quick. I am lucky my foot was not on the gas at the time or I would have went through the intersection. The next day as I was driving my seat slid forward a little but locked into the next spot. I had gotten a hold of Subaru and made an appointment but they cannot see me for a week. It is very unsafe someone could really get hurt.
