This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Started the car on a very cold morning (around 0 F) started to drive and noticed a hot burning smell but couldn't see anything burning. Next day a little warmer started the car and noticed the same smell and the looking at the seat noticed a small burn hole on the side of the seat. Seat heaters were on both days. Immediately turned them off and the smell went away. Now I am afraid to use the seat heaters for fear of fire. One of the turns of the car was the seat warmers as I live in a fairly cold climate. And I also have an unsightly burn on the leather seats.
