Description of the problem | July 30, 2018 while in parking space i turned on ignition and heard a mild pop, the looking towards passenger seat i saw white smoke rising between chair and window and smoke coming from under seat. It smelled as if doming was burning. I turned ignition off. Smoke stopped. I did not see anything under the chair. I checked movement of chair and it was ok. I called toyota: no idea of cause and claimed no recalls. I mentioned what i saw on line, to no avail. I observed 6/2/2016 recall: 16v396000 and 11/19/2014 # 14v743000. I would like these heating wires on both sides to be disconnected to prevent possible fire while driving. Thank you |
