Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While using my heater on my seats and a pillow for additional back support, I noticed smoke and burning smell when pulling into my driveway. When getting out of my car I noticed that my pillow was leaking...and upon pulling the pillow off the drivers seat, it was damaged/burned through. I also noticed that a burned hole the size of a quarter is now quite visible. Worried that this may cause a car fire.”
