MERCEDES FITS IN-SEAT AFTER-BURNERS

SUV drivers find seats warmer than they bargained for
Ever wondered whether seat heaters should offer more graduated settings? Plenty of people think so -- especially owners of some Mercedes ML320 SUVs in the US who apparently sustained second-degree burns from their seat warmers. That's according to a report from the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
We hear that the NHTSA is in the throes of investigating models of the SUV manufactured from 2003 containing faulty seat warmers in the driver's seat. They can, apparently, overheat, causing injury to the driver's nether parts, and burning the seat covers. No fires have been reported. Yet.
Mercedes has declined to comment.
