I drive my car everyday. it has seat heaters in the front seats. i have cloth seats. i was noticing that whenever i turned my seat warmer on, it was getting really hot in one specific place and made my leg burn. one day, i looked at my leg after i got out and there was a small burn on my leg. i looked at the seat and there was a small burn mark/ hole through my seat. i do not turn the heaters on anymore, obviously. however, sometimes it comes on on its own and gets super hot and i can't turn it off. so, i had to start driving with a blanket under me so i didn't get burned. i was scared the blanket was going to catch fire, so i took it to a shop to get looked at. they said it had short curcuited and that i should check to see if the seats had been recalled. i called cheverlet and all they told me was that there was not a recall and basically said 'that sucks'. i don't want this to happen to anyone else and i also don't think it's fair that i have to pay out of pocket to fix it. chevy didn't even offer to file a report about my incident.
When setting down in my car the set close up on you i have to stop and push the button on the side of the seat this happens most of the time i get into my car
Design flaw between the pedals and the seat have caused me to have sciatic pain. i had the car just short of 2 years because i couldn't take the pain anymore. the distance between the pedals both vertically and horizontally are a problem. i only related the problem to the car when i was not driving the car for a three week period, my pain was gone. i started driving the car again and the pain returned. i tested it again, by renting a different vehicle for a 5 day period and the pain went away again and a day after resuming driving my equinox the pain returned. i traded the car in this past weekend (20170225) so i could live my life pain free.
