Description of the problem	About 2 minutes after turning on the driver's seat heater, the driver's seat caught on fire. A hole burned through the driver's seat and burned my back. Luckily, i recognized the problem quickly enough that i was only slightly burned. My husband and my 1 year old daughter were in the car with me.
