Description of the problem	I have a 2004 mercedes ml350 suv and i turned on the seat heater and it got so hot that i had to turn it off. The left side of the seat burned so hot that i had to move my body and weight to my right side because it felt like you were sitting on coals - even through the leather interior. I did not use it again because the weather was not that cold. The next person to use it was my mother. She was driving my car and i was next to her and she turned on her seat heater and after a few minutes she screamed because the heat of the seat heater was so piercing. I turned off the heater immediately and she looked and saw smoke and smelled smoke as well. This is a huge hazard that i have heard other ml's have had as well and the manufacturer of the seat heater should be held accountable, as should mercedes!!! She swerved off the road and almost hit a car because of the intensity of heat.
