Seat warmer fire
I have a 2004 V70 - my husband "allowed" me to buy it because of the seat warmers (he loves them - runs even in summer because of his bad back). This weekend we smelled a burning smell, saw smoke and discovered the driver's seat was on fire! Turned off the seat warmer and car, and let it sit for a while, then turned the car back on - seat warmer OFF
I saw this was an issue on the 850s way back when, but haven't seen a recall or safety advisory on this
I have the 100K extended warranty, due to expire in April (or in 4K more miles)
Covered?
