Description of the problem	We were driving on san vicente blvd in beverly hills, my husband in the driver seat turned on the seat heaters in our suv and about one minute later we started smelling something burning and could not right away distinguish where the putrid smell originated from. Moments later the cabin started filling with smoke and the fumes become unbearable which made us, myself, husband and our 1. 5yr old cough. My husband noticed his seat was hotter than usual, and quickly realized it was the seat the fumes and smoke were coming from and quickly turned off the heater. We stopped the car, jumped out, i grabbed my son from the back seat and we found a burnt hole in the driver seat!!
