Right passenger heated seat overheated and charred leather seat cover before I noticed a burning smell. I've removed fuse to this seat, but my seat is ruined. My local Chevrolet dealer said he has had three other gm vehicles to do this and even caught one man's coat on fire laying in the seat. But , he said there was no recalls on his records from gm. Now I'm stuck with a five or six hundred dollar repair bill if I have it fixed. I can't take fuse out for driver,s seat, as it also controls another function on car. Now I'm afraid it will overheat and I'll be burned like some of the others I've read about on the internet. . Read more...
I have a 2000 Impala LS and the rt side seat warmer over heated and almost caught on fire. My local chevy dealership said they had seen several do this, but there's no recall. My husband unplugged it and remove fuse. Now the seat is all burned and cracking, looks very bad. Why wasn't there a recall on this? I've read where some people have had their seat to catch on fire and blaze up.
