Description of the problem	Last week my wife told me that she could smell an electrical short and feel a burning sensation coming from her vw driver? S seat while she had her seat warmer on. I immediately had her take it in to the local vw dealership service center for diagnosis. This issue is a fire hazard and safety issue as we could not drive the car for fear that the short in the electrical system could cause a failure of the power assisted systems while in motion rendering the car unmanageable in traffic. Additionally, we could not drive the car because the burning pain transmitted through the driver? S seat to my wife? S flesh was painful enough to potentially distract her full attention from driving. Because of the potential fire hazard and safety failure? S we must insist that vw take full responsibility for the repair of our vehicle and reimburse us promptly for our costs and expenses.
