While using my heater on my seats and a pillow for additional back support, I noticed smoke and burning smell when pulling into my driveway. When getting out of my car I noticed that my pillow was leaking. . . And upon pulling the pillow off the drivers seat, it was damaged/burned through. I also noticed that a burned hole the size of a quarter is now quite visible. Worried that this may cause a car fire.

My 2003 Audi quattro 3. 0 heated seat caught on fire. Fortunately no one was injured and I was able to put out the fire before it spread. A hole was burned in the seat which Audi replaced. I was lucky that I noticed the fire before I left my car in my garage or else the car and house could have caught on fire. This is a potentially dangerous problem that should be looked into. The Audi dealer told me that others have had this problem in their all road model. . It is just a matter of time before someone is severely injured from this type of defect.
