1 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem of the 2013 BMW 535

Failure Date: 02/27/2020

The BMW had run for about 20 minutes a cold morning with the driver car seat heater on. It suddenly began to smoke until the car was shut off. The grey leather seat now has a burn mark, and we do not turn on the car seat heater until this is evaluated.

2 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem of the 2012 BMW 535

Failure Date: 03/02/2018

The passenger side seat heater suddenly began to overheat when the car was approximately 3 years old. The heat became so intense it was necessary to turn off the heater for fear of burns. The seat was replaced under warranty. The problem just recurred with the new seat, three years after the first seat was replaced; the warranty has expired. This appears to be a persistent design or manufacturing flaw, occurring in two consecutive seats.
