Description of the problem	I went to go start my car to let it warm up and turned on the driver's and the passenger heated seats. I have used the driver's heated seat often. Ten to fifteen minutes later when i and my fiance went to leave and we opened the doors to my car we both smelled burnt plastic. The passenger side seat had burned a spot and there was a visible scorch mark on the seat. On monday, jan. 20, 2014 i called serra chevrolet in jackson, tn and they referred me to call general motors since my car was no longer under warranty. We then set up a time to have my car diagnosed in order to see if general motors would do anything to assist. On tuesday, jan. 21, 2014 i took my car to serra chevrolet to be diagnosed. At 5:00pm when i got off work and went to go get my car, serra chevrolet informed me that general motors would only pay roughly 10% and that the damage done and the cause of the malfunction was: "found high resistance in passenger heat element causing cushion and cover to burn". The malfunction with the seat also caused the airbag sensor in the seat to malfunction and now my service air bag light is on. Chrysler had this same issue and they recalled theirs. This is definitely a problem and should be recalled, someone could get hurt possibly even fatally. I do not feel that this, a malfunctioning heating element, is something that should be taken lightly and should be recalled.
