Description of the problem	I was driving in my son [xxx] to his school in wayne new jersey with my gl 450 seats warmer turned on in both the drivers and passenger seats. I started smelling smoke & thought it was from outside. I opened my window, and smoke started swirling inside my car and started getting thicker within minutes. I try to search for the source of the strange smell - but no obvious clue observed. When i reached my destination i noticed that the seat has burned a hole in my suit jacket back left side. The hole in the car is on the left side of the drivers seat. I have not contacted mercedes benz service and would like to know what i should do if possible. I would appreciate directing me to the appropriate line to fix my seat and electrical system of my jeep and get compensated for my suit damage asap.
