“I was driving my 2004 Gmc sierra with my car seat warmers on. I suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns to my back from the car seat warmers. I had only been driving the car for approximately 20 minutes. The pain worsened, and I immediately sought medical attention. I reported this to Gmc claims on the same day. I had pictures taken of my back on the day of the injury, and 2 days later. Gmc claims on feb 26th told me my car seat temps (raytech 120.1 f with leather on; 170 f with leather off) are within normal range and this claim does not actually even need to be settled by Gmc. …”
