Front Seat Heater/cooler problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The drivers seat heater got very hot and then stopped working shortly after. I did an internet search and found that this is very common. I found that one of the wires had overheated and actually burned the foam and covering. There are many complaints and pictures on the internet. I removed my seat and found the exact same problem. I am astounded that nothing is being done to stop the use of these defective heaters. This is most certainly a very serious fire and burn hazard.

SUV Chevrolet Trailblazer 2003: heated seats both driver and passenger are submitted to burning sensation or the smell of electrical short or component burning. Burning sensation to inner thighs or back of either seat. This is over a very short period of time when the module is turned 3-4 minutes, need to turn off heated seat switch. Its either hot or off.

In November of 2005 I was driving along when for no reason I felt a burning on the inside of my left thigh. It got so hot it I almost lost control of the truck. I had to pull over to find out that it was my heated seat that had just burned out and does nt work anymore. At that point I just figured it was just another thing that broke, but on 2/2/06 a person I work with just told me she had the exact same problem and almost lost control of her vehicle. She has a 2004 Buick rainier which is almost the same as my 2003 chevy Trailblazer. At this point I felt this was a real safety issue and needs to be look into and that's why I am asking for your help in this matter.
