What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The driver's heated seat overheated and melted my shirt tag. The leather ripped and the foam under the leather has deformed. If I hadn't have turned it off it surely would've caught on fire. It was unbearably hot. This occurred with only 23000 miles on the car.
What to check before buying
- Seats. Occupant sensor, power adjustment, seat mounts.
