Heated seat comes on by itself all the time. It has burned my father's rear end. I checked it out and it came on 12 times in 5 minutes. My father is older and did not realize he was burning until it was too late. I was told by three different dealers that there are no safety recalls for this. Upon reading help forums, I discovered they do have a recall. I am waiting for a response before I take any further actions. Thank you
