While I was driving my 2006 pontiac torrent, my driver side heated seat caught fire. The seat was turned on and began getting hotter than usual. I began to smell burning. I was on a major highway and could not pull over, so I stuck my hat behind my back due to the high temperature. Although I turned off the seat I still smelled burning and the seat was still hot. When I got off the highway, I saw that there was a whole burned into the seat and my hat was smoking and had a would as well. This could have been my back.
