| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1) i'm not exactly sure when the incident occurred, see #2 and you will understand why. 2) today i found that there was some kind of short circuit in the drivers side seat. it left a pea-sized burn in the upholstery. luckily, i use a small driving pillow for my lower back which bore the brunt of the fire instead of my butt. i had found the pillow was stuck to the seat, and when i pulled it off the burn was revealed. the pillow was damaged. 3) i have done nothing to correct the failure as of yet. i am researching my options to determine if the manufacturer will replace it for me. *nm |
