    I was driving down the highway with the seat warmer activated. The seat was very warm and i felt something poking me. I reached behind me to see what was poking me and something burned my finger. I stopped at the gas station and saw that a hole had been burned in the driver's seat. A hole had also been burned through my windbreaker and had started burning my shirt.
