Problems with 2007 Jeep Commander SEATS

Car in motion. incident happened at marker 173 northport fl fumes were detected while driving as i looked over there appeared to be smoke on the floor of the front passenger side. i noticed the passenger seat was warm in one spot so i moved my purse. my purse was completely melted as i picked it up smoke came billowing out from the seat. i was inhaling some sort of terrible smelling smoke. i opened windows so i could breathe. the smoke was getting thicker. could not see from windows to get over to right side of road. also as driving the odometer and speedometer needles were going back and forth but i was driving normally. i pulled over shut car off. car seat continued to burn and smoke. called 911 and fire department had to cut battery terminal and spray car to put fire out. huge hole in seat where fire was. seat warmers were not on. there were no passengers just myself. it is unknown as to what caused this to happen.

After coming home from work around 8:30 pm, i was awakened 3 hours later to the lights of a fire engine and the sound of my vehicle's alarm because of a fire in my front seat . the fire department's report stated that there was indeed a malfunction of the heated seats. i contacted my insurance company, and they determined it a total loss. i contacted the manufacturer's claims group, and upon their investigation, stated that is was not their fault or mine and it was nothing they are responsible for. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. the contact was able to restart by turning the key back and starting the engine. the failure occurred on an intermittent basis. the vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who informed the contact that they were unable to diagnose the failure. the manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 102,000. the consumer also stated the driver's seat tilts backward on its own. the remote unlock and lock buttons only worked on occasion and finally water would enter the vehicle when it rained. updated 03/09/11 updated 06/16/11 *bf updated 06/23/11

I am a certified child passenger safety technician. i attempted an install of two britax marathon child restraints (forward-facing) into the outboard second-row seating positions of a 2007 jeep commander. the headrests in those seating positions slant forward and do not allow the child restraints to lay flat against the vehicle seat back. the headrests are not designed to be removed and will not fold back (if removed, two metal spikes stick out vertically from the vehicle seat back). i believe this arrangement may be the cause of incorrect forward-facing child seat installations in 100% of attempts in this model of vehicle. i do not know what other jeep models have the same headrest setup. i have contacted jeep customer service, but they are unable to answer technical questions. *jb
