“The front passenger seat heating element in my 2022 Mazda Model, CX-9 malfunctioned, failing to regulate temperature and creating an immediate thermal safety and fire hazard. While operating the vehicle normally with the passenger side seat heater turned on, the system rapidly reached temperatures far exceeding normal comfort parameters. The heat became intense enough to cause smoke to fill the car, a flame to appear on the seat, and a giant burned hole in the seat. …”
