2004 Chrysler Sebring Seats Problems

“Passenger seat had been feeling warmer than usual for a couple months so kept the seat at heat level 3 instead of 5. It was ok for awhile but then burned a hole thru the seat as well as my jacket. Smelled the burning so I turned the seat off. Turning the seat off stopped the burning.”

“Heated seat fire on 2004 Chrysler Sebring limited. On a trip with our family - the passenger heated seat was turned on at some point getting in our out of the car. A standard insulated cooler was sitting on the seat so nobody knew it was on. We continued to smell a foul burning smell (similar to diesel fumes) and began to move lanes, roll the windows down, etc. A short time later, the smell became severe and the car began filling with smoke (while traveling down the highway).

I wound up pulling off the interstate, pulling into an empty lot and jumping out. When I reached in for my pocketbook I saw smoke billowing up out of the passenger seat of my Chrysler Sebring. After turning the car off and the control to the seat, which had been turned on accidentally, the smoke dissipated. …”

“While driving to work I began to smell something funny, the drive to work takes about one hour, I checked around the car for a reason for the smell but could not find anything. On my way home that evening from work I could smell it again. When I stopped by a store near my home I picked my purse up off the front passenger seat and noticed a hole on my front passenger seat that had burned through and also burned though a piece of paper that had been on the front seat and it had also burned through to the bottom of my purse. …”
