Description of the problem	I was taking my kids to school in the morning and it was cold so i turned on my seat warmer and in about 5 min. We started smelling smoke and it was coming from my door side of the car and the smoke was pretty heavy, i was also feeling a burning sensation on my left side. I turn to take a look and the seat was on fire and it caused a burn through the seat, damaging my clothing. I turned of the seat warmer and stopped the car and took the kids out for some time. I was to scared to drive my car from that point on. I am in talks with the dealership and they want to take pictures of the seat. I have also gotten in touch with my insurance company to see if any coverage can be added to replace my seat. My car has all original parts and this has never happened to me before.
