The car has heated front seats. The passenger seat began smoking. It was not on. The fire department was called.
The seat warmers overheat. When driving, I smelled something burning. The seat warmers burned a quarter-size place in the passenger seat while my daughter was sitting in it. She got out of the car and I turned the seat warmers off, but there is a black mark in the center of the passenger seat and we can no longer use the seat warmer safely. Why hasn't the car model been recalled by Chrysler?.
Passenger seat had been feeling warmer than usual for a couple months so kept the seat at heat level 3 instead of 5. It was ok for awhile but then burned a hole thru the seat as well as my jacket. Smelled the burning so I turned the seat off. Turning the seat off stopped the burning.
