Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driving car, using seat heater, started smelling burning smell. when i was able to stop, the leather seat had burned. i am not sure what would have occurred if i had not turned the seat heater off when i did (fire, burn me). went to dealer today, they said that there was no recall for my vehicle and i would have to repair myself. i feel this is a safety issue, not a wear and tear issue and vw of america should replace/repair at their cost. *tr
