In owners' own words
Distinct smell of ozone / burning electrical component was noticed in the cabin while driving on a cold day. Pulled off the road to safety and investigated further. After cycling power several times, the burning smell was verified to be coming from the driver's seat heater. Seat heater turned off to prevent possible fire and will be examined by a local body shop in a few days to pinpoint the fault. Electrical system · reported at 135,000 miles
