“***** when ventilated seat feature is turned on, there is tremendous heat that begins to build in the middle/lower seat back. Heat is also being felt on the upper right shoulder of the bolster. This is causing such an issue that I am having to lean forward while driving to avoid the heat build-up that 2 accidents have almost occurred. I am concerned that the seat may catch fire !!!! This needs to be fixed immediately!!!! This happenes at anytime whether driving or stationary.”
