| Description of the problem | Got in my car and turned on my seat warmers and proceeded to drive. After driving for 5 minutes i noticed a smell, though it was the fumes from the car in front of me. I kept driving and then i felt some discomfort on my lower left upper hip area. Felt like something was biting me. By this time i was a major highway and kept feeling discomfort.... Got to my destination and proceeded to get out of the car and my coat was stuck to the seat. I turned around and to look at the seat and there was a hole in the seat and my coat. The discomfort i felt was the burning from the seat. |
