Seats problem #1

I have a 2001 Audi A6. The passenger seat behind the driver was on a low heated setting. A blanket was over the top. After warming up the car noticed a burning smell and the seat was on fire. It burned a hole all the way through to the coils and through the blanket. I will be contacting Audi USA about this but feel this is a severe safety issue with the vehicle as my son's car seat is on the other side. So far the dealership will do nothing and the car was out of warranty long ago.

Front Seat Recliner problem #2

During front crash at 25-30 mph both front seats drifted back, and passenger seat reclined all the way back.
