2005 Chevrolet Tahoe Seats Problems

THE HEATING ELEMENT LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT BURNED THROUGH THE SHIRT AND BURNED THE SKIN. THE SKIN WAS RED AND NOW THERE IS A SCAB. THIS WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE A SCAR. I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALLS IN THE DATABASE FOR THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN TAHOES (2005). THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CLIPS TO INSTALL THE SEAT CRUMBLED. THEREFORE, YOU CANNOT LOCK THE SEATS IN ITS PLACE. *TR

REAR SEATS LOCK IN POSITION AND ARE DIFFICULT TO LET DOWN AND DIFFICULT TO PUT UP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THE SEATS ARE NOT LOCKING PROPERLY AND REAR SEAT PASSENGERS ARE ENDANGERED IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I AM SPEAKING OF THE SECOND ROW OF SEATS AND NOT THE THIRD ROW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT WAS ACTIVATED WHEN IT SHORT CIRCUITED AND CAUSED A SMALL SPARK TO IGNITE UNDER THE SEAT. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE FLAMES AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED.THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE BURNED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT SEAT WARMER WAS SOURCE OF FIRE. SEAT WARMERS HAVE NOT BEEN IN USE SINCE LAST WINTER. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OFF AND KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION. VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. MY GARAGE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT SMOKE DAMAGE. LUCKILY THE FIRE BURNED OUT DUE TO LACK OF OXYGEN BECAUSE WERE CLOSED. *TR
