Three problems related to front seat heater/cooler have been reported for the 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit based on all problems reported for the 2007 Rabbit.
Vehicle was in motion on city street in north chatham, MA. Smell of burning. Pulled over and discovered that the electric seat heater had burnt a hole in the drivers seat back. A hole was also burnt in the outer layer of my goose down coat where it made contact with burning seat back. Burnt hole in seat is approximately 0. 375 inch diameter.
The seat heaters are not regulating temperature consistently and I noticed the driver's seat has a hole burned in it from the heater. I am afraid to use it in case it causes a fire, since it appears it already burned a hole.
The seat heater burned through the seat and would no shut off.
