just get a lawyer to send the letter and threaten a class action legal suit or they just don/t care,,,,the heaters in the seats can short or overheat and the seat stuffing will smolder,,great german engineering there....landrovers and bmmers are no better believe me.

Mine did the exact same thing and they want me to pay for 1/2 of the repairs or 800 dollars. Did you get any satisfaction? If so, what did you need to do?
