Description of the problem	I was driving my 2006 mercedes ml 350, with the seat warmer turned on. I noticed a smell of smoke coming from inside the vehicle, so i turned off the seat warmer and the smell went away. The next day i discovered that the seat warmer had burned a small hole in the seat covering on the left side of the driver's seat just above the driver's waist. When i took it to the dealer, they told me that the vehicle was out of warranty, and that it would cost $800-$1000 to correct the problem. The mechanic that i talked with 1-on-1 told me that they get this problem frequently. Since the day of the burn through, i have not used the seat warmer. I feel very fortunate that i noticed the smoke and shut the seat warmer down before the situation resulted in a fire or personal injury. Systems with these types of risks should have some kind of "extended" warranty coverage when they fail, to help cover the risk of fire or injury.
