Bad battery or charger or damage to charger battery will get hot and may swell. Time for a new battery or as it swells it may break the main board or screen

As Pattianne Pascual above mentioned force stop any not using applications. Perhaps you are using as app that is high demand.....
Facebook and messenger are notorious high demand apps and often are the cause.

You can download an app called "android assisstant" it helps control and keep phone running smooth.

Once you force stop the apps, turn the screen brighteness down as well.

To ensure a good healthy charge go to your settings somewhere around the network settings you will find airplane mode. It stops all networking and messaging etc. Put your phone down and let it charge.

My new Samsung S4 gets very very hot when using as GPS. I couldn't even leave it on for fear of damaging my carseat. Anyone else have this problem?

I just got rid of my S4 for the Note 3, but mine used to do the same thing. It's just working the battery really hard, actually it can't even charge as fast as it is draining the battery. Playing youtube videos to my TV using the HDMI adapter was the same thing. If it's not melting the phone back plastic, I wouldn't think it would melt your seat, but then again, you know better than I as to how hot it's getting.
