Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chrysler pt cruiser. while driving approximately 25 mph, there was a burning odor coming from the front driver side seat. the contact mentioned that there was a seat cushion placed on the driver seat and, when it was removed, it was discovered that there was a large burn. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 202,078.
While letting my car warm up, with the heated seats on low, the drivers seat started smoldering, and filled the car with smoke. i phoned 911 for the fire truck. the cushion under the leather upholstery disintegrated under the heat. the car is a 2003 pt cruiser gt turbo, with only 23000 km. i have not contacted my dealer, yet. *jb
While attempting to remove the right rear seat, it became stuck then released suddenly causing the consumer to fall and severely injure his right wrist. *ph *mr
Heated seats went on by themselves and poor/dangerous location of on/off switch (on seat base between seat and door) is unsafe. *la
