“I smelled something like acetone and did not know what it was. The driver's side seat heater nearly burned my leg before it went cold on the left half. The leather was burnt and puckered on the left outside. When I went to my mechanic, I had them unplug the element so further damage or injury would not occur if the seat heater were accidentally turned on.
