Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The seat heater in the driver's side of my 2002 jetta burnt through the seat and my pants. i was still in the parking lot, so no other damage occurred. this could have been very dangerous if my wife or i was driving, or if the seat heater was on while the car warmed up without us in it. i'm pursuing my options with volkwagen at the moment...this is the last straw, never buy a vw, especially a jetta. it has given us problems from the moment we bought it new. *nm
