Driving to work when power seat began moving forward on it's own. Then seat switch started smoking a lot. I then pulled over exited vehicle and had someone notify fire dept in west brookfield ma. I then disconnected battery fire dept removed switch and inspected seat to make sure it was not on fire. The switch itself was toasted the wiring to the switch was fine, also the fuse to the seat did blow out. I will contact dealer for replacement switch. I also do have the burnt out switch.

What owners say
Took car in to diagnose wobble in front end. Dealer reports that one tire suffered from "a blown steel belt and tread separation. Other three tires are on wear indicators." these tires are oe, and and still at least 10000 miles below their expected life.*ak (tiresize: p205/65r15)
Right front and one rear firestone affinity tires experienced a blowout, causing damage to the right front rim, the consumer is requesting reimbursement.
Tread separation, total sidewall distruction. *ak( dot number: w2ur tire size: 205/65r 15 )
Having been made aware of the recent firestone recall, I felt it necessary to report this tire blowout since it occured on a brand new car (w/ only 12000 miles) with a new set of firestone tires (the originals that came with the car) I was going the speed limit when the tread completly separated as has been happening to other firestone tires. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, since this model tire is not the one being recalled, but I would like some more information regarding this potentially serious problem, and possible tire replacement.( dot number: tire size: p185/65r14 )
We were driving, hit a small pothole during a turn at about 5-10 MPH,the tire blew out and there is a hole in the sidewall the tire is only 2 months old with about 1300 miles on it.( dot number: w2urafb349 tire size: p205-65r15 )
