Description of the problem	2004 mercedes benz e320. Consumer writes in regards to seat heater malfunction. *smd the consumer stated she turned on the seat heater. Minutes later, she began to feel heat under her left thigh and a burning smell, so she reached down to touch the seat, and quickly drew her hand back as she burned the edge of her fingers.
