Description of the problem	I'm the owner of a 2006 mercedes benz ml350 4matic, currently at 58,645 miles with outside extended warranty until 2013. Recently i had the heated seat turned on which i started the car and after about 2 minutes i smelled a burning smell coming from inside the cabin and then started seeing smoke coming from the left side of the driver side seat bolster around the waist area. I found a hole burnt the size of a nickel and smoke was coming out from it. It was bright red as i could see inside the hole i immediately turned off the heat seat and slowly the burning went away. I took my car to a mercedes benz dealer the next and they denied that there is no heating element in that part of the seat and refused to cover under outside warranty. At the dealership i did try to turn the heated seat on but no smoke was coming out so i wasn't able to proof the seating element was actually causing the problem. But i read numerous incidents online with the same exact problem.
