Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Previously reported driver's seat fire in odi #758194 - i simply want to cross-reference odi #'s 734813 and 560677 which have the same fact pattern. why hasn't anything been done about this defect? my baby could have died from the smoke inhalation, let alone the fire if we had not been able to immediately remove her from the vehicle. i would like to strongly suggest that this defect be investigated and remedied as soon as possible since the potential damage is severe - i.e., death or serious injury.
