Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my car with the seat heater on, it suddenly got very hot, so i turned the heater off. when i got to my destination i saw a hole about the size of a pencil eraser had burned through the leather. i later realized that there was a hole in my pants and the back of my leg was burnt. when i contacted chrysler, i was told that i would have to pay for all repairs since my 3 year warranty was up. by the way, the heater no longer functions, although the light on the switch still activates when depressed, meaning any fuse in the system never blew. *jb |
