Description of the problem	Driver's heated seat burning?!? I've owned this vehicle since late may of '18. On tues. 11/06/18 after work, i started the car and began driving home. Turned on the heat and the driver's heated seat (it's 30 degrees and snowing here in mn). I take-off and not a minute later i smell what seems to be an electrical fire/smoke. There was likely even a whiff of smoke present. Thankfully i immediately figured it was unfortunately coming from my car and that the heated seat was likely the culprit. Turned it off, pulled over and noticed the pics attached (burned hole in lower right of seat if looking at it head-on). There was the mb-tex crack there prior. Now, i won't (unfortunately) be using my heated seat anytime soon, but my question is, what now? The wife uses her side all the time, never noticed any issues. Pretty scary/surprising and disappointing all at once.
