Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a year 2000 chrysler town & country van the seat heater set fire to the leather on the seat. the dealer would not fix the seat due to the van being under extended warranty not the factory warranty. from the information on the net chrysler knew about this problem in 1999 and it looks like they didn't bother to fix it in the vans built for the year 2000. having to put out a fire while driving is not something i bargained for when i bought the van. what would have happened if no one saw the fire and left the van next to the house? *la
