Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving to work i began to smell something funny, the drive to work takes about one hour, i checked around the car for a reason for the smell but could not find anything. on my way home that evening from work i could smell it again. when i stopped by a store near my home i picked my purse up off the front passenger seat and noticed a hole on my front passenger seat that had burned through and also burned though a piece of paper that had been on the front seat and it had also burned through to the bottom of my purse. i immediately turned off my heated car seats both passenger and drivers seat. this could have been much worse if someone was sitting in the passengers seat at the time or if this was the driver seat that overheated and burned through. i called the next day to chrysler but they were closed until mon. i plan on calling them on monday to report this and see what their responsibility is for defect. *jb
