Front Seat Heater/cooler Problems of Cadillac DTS

In regards heated / cooled seat inoperative - keywords climate control cool cooled driver front heat heated inoperative intermittent left module passenger right - (Mar 18, 2008) subject:heated/ cooled seat inoperative models:2006- 2008 Buick lucerne w/ rpo kb6 2006- 2008 Cadillac Dts w/ rpo kb6 I had my heated/cooled seat module replaced in August 2013. Through the winter my heated seats worked fine. Today I turn on my seat heaters only to hear a clicking noise coming from under the passenger seat followed by puffs of white smoke. I quickly turned the car off and disconnected the battery. Upon visual inspection of the area where the smoke came from. I found the module melted to the connector so much so I had to remove the relay for the seat module. This fire could have grown dangerous very quickly. I know a number of fellow Cadillac/Buick owners that this has happened to. If gm does not resolve this issue with a recall there will likely be legal action taken.

After researching my heater/cooler problem in my seats I find the Cadillac needs to be held responsible for the problem that has exists for a long time and even after consulting authorized Cadillac dealeships I have been given the run around because they could not find the problem! I just want Cadillac to fix my current heat/cooler problem in my seats!.

My wife and I turned on our seat heaters, and both noted a smell of burning wire and plastic. We evacuated the vehicle. I then proceeded to check under the passenger seat where the smell was coming from. I visually noted a small amount of white smoke. I have since pulled the fuse for the heated/cooled seat module, and repaired it. There should be a recall on this if not I'm almost sure a class action lawsuit will be in gm's near future for such a dangerous fault. Upon replacement of the module I note several burnt wires and melted connectors on the module. Not even a week after I replaced the module it happened a second time! this time there was even more smoke and I was sure there was a fire. There wasn't; just burning wires again. Dealers charge upwards of $800. 00 for this repair!! a high price to pay for not wanting to be set ablaze for warm of ventilated seats just for it to disastrously fail again! do something about it gm!.

Shortly after purchasing my Dts I began to notice a melting plastic/smoke smell whenever I would turn on the driver's side heated/ventilated seat heater. I took the car to the dealership and was advised this is a common wiring problem on the Buick and Cadillac models and that I should stop using the heated seat function because the wiring is undersized and can melt and burn. The dealership told me the new part has been revised to include larger wiring but the part has not been recalled at this time so there was nothing they could do for me.
