My Seat started on Fire

[whiterasta]

So get this,

I'm in the Cold of Toronto Canada and I'm driving my beautifull 04 x3 down the highway and I turn on my seat warmer.

Well as I'm driving I feel an extreem pain on my left a** cheek. So I take my hand and touch my own a** and then burn my hand.

So I lift my butt off the seat and to my surprise their is smoke coming from my nice leather seats!!!

I then stop the truck and get out in the middle of the highway and see that my seat is still smoking and my heating element has burnt a hole right through my leather seat.

As well it had burnt a hole right through my jeans and burnt my a** leaving me with a nice red welt on it.

Has anyone had this problem.

I called the dealership and told them about it and they told me the seat element was not under warranty.

When I told them that I would go to the media with this they told me to hold and then the nice service manager came back on the line and told me they would fix it out of good will.

I'm thinking civil suit if you ask me.

Wonder if I would be able to file a civil suit against BMW for this.

I mean it actually caused personal injury..... Immagine if my child was seated in the passenger seat and this happened.
