My son bought a used 99 Sportage. He went camping this weekend and on the way, about 50 miles into the trip the drivers side rear floor matt starting melting . This is the longest he has ever driven the car. There is a 6 inch diameter circl of melted rubber and the carprt floor carprt, below the matt is discoloured. It appears as though the muffler was throwing off some serious heat! Is this a know issue? It is a simple fix? Thanks
