PASSENGER TURNED OFF HEATED SEATS AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE FOR POTENTIAL DANGER TO OTHERS, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MERCEDES IS ENGINEERING CARS THAN BURN WHILE DRIVING, THAT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM ITS SISTER CAR MERCEDES M SERIES, WHICH ARE COMPRISED OF SAME COMPONENTS, DIFFERENT BODY STYLE, BUT OVERALL COMPONENTS ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL AND INTERIOR ARE BASICALLY SAME, BUT M SERIES IS BEING RECALLED BUT NOT THE LESS PURCHASED R SERIES, WHICH HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND SO ON, WHY MERCEDES RECALLING THE M SERIES WHEN R SERIES SISTER CAR 99% ITS COPY?. THIS IS A CONSUMERĀ??S WORST NIGHTMARE! ONE CAR IS BEING IGNORED WHILE OTHER IS ACKNOWLEDGED DUE TO ITS HIGHER SALES. BOTH VEHICLES M SERIES/R SERIES SHOULD EVALUATED AS SAME UNIT AND NOT SEPARATELY, THEY ARE ENGINEERED FROM SAME BLUEPRINT, USE 90% OF SAME COMPONENTS.
