Picked up a Gal to go out on a date. Turned the vehicle on and got about 1 mile down the road when I started to smell, like a hot, burning electrical smoke. My Date, sitting in the passenger seat says Her seat is get warm, then says, it's getting really hot ! I looked at the seat warmer switch and noticed and said, weird, the switch isn't even on. Then the smoke became very apparent as we got onto the Freeway and we were compelled to pull over as the electrical components or wiring were on the verge of catching fire, where the Electic Seat switch is located.
