Non-heating Drivers' seat.

Passenger seat htg. works well. Htd. steering wheel works fine. Drivers' seat back hts. well.

Drivers' seat bottom/cushion does not.

Any known issues that can be shared, with a fix short of replacing the thing for oodles of dough?

Steering "chatter" when turning, dead active seats option and this. Otherwise, love the vehicle. Out of warr., 118,+++ off line.

Thanks for any guidance on any of these.

I have the same issue but am still under extended CPO warranty. I'm taking mine for service today, will let you know what they do to fix it.

Previous posters have mentioned a replacement of bottom seat cushion.

Loose connection or heating element is defective.

Connection. Where do I have the indie look or where do I look for that connection? That would be too sweet, if the problem. Guidance appreciated. In the 30's tonight in Packers Country, so could use the feature.

Stealership says $1075 to fix dynamic seat feature, currently on the fritz. Any sense to make that fix and tie in the seat heating?

Thanks.

You mighty save some labor but they typically have "book" rates on repairs.

Dealer replaced my seat cushion under warranty, apparently heating element failed.
