1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2011

At 8am January 12, 2011 I was driving to work in a blizzard. I felt a slight pain/pinch from my seat and quikly moved thinking it was something from my pocket. I resumed driving and again felt a much greater pain causing me to swerve and cause a near collision. Very frightened, I jumped out of the car (mid traffic in blizzard) to find my seat scorched through appearantly from the seat warmer. This is very concerning. Fortunately I was not driving at a greater speed as it could have been critical or fatal. What do I do about the seat? although I have turned the warmer off, I am still afraid to drive this vehicle.
