When buying the car notice that the driver seat heater would go off after a short time on the road and would slightly warm up and would not come back on. Acts like there is a short some where. The dealer said they would fix it, so I ended up buying the car. After numerous trips to the dealer to fix the problem. They came to a decision to replace the part that is under the drivers seat. (this was after we had to talk to the service manager). This did not fix the problem its doing the same thing. Have not took the car back in as of yet because I don't feel like getting the run around again because the service department doesn't know how to troubleshoot a wiring problem. Did send in their service satisfaction card with the comments that it did not fix the problem. As of today I have not gotten a response to this card. Its been at least a month since mailing the card.

Complainant was traveling on interstate highway when driver's leather seat suddenly became extremely hot, causing burns to lower back and buttocks. Seat became hot despite fact that switch controlling heated seat had been, and was still in the "off" position. Seat continued to burn regardless of setting of 3-position control switch. Seat continued to burn despite vehicle being turned off. Seat continued to burn until complainant located driver's side fuse box and removed fuse marked for driver's heated seat/bcm. Vehicle must continue to be operated with fuse removed as re-insertion causes seat to again burn regardless of switch position or vehicle on/off. Passenger heated seat was/is unaffected by the defect or removal of fuse. Incident date is approximate.

The seat warmer in my 2001 chevy Impala overheated causing 3 large(quarter sized) blistering burns on my backside. I turned it off upon feeling the burning, and later it did not turn on at all. My chevy dealer fixed the seat warmers and the repair was covered under warranty. 18 days later the blisters are still healing.

I own a 2002 Chevrolet imapla. It came with heated leather front seats. Last year the seat on the drivers side failed to heat. It was discovered that this had burned a hole in the leather of the seat before it quit working. It was repaired by the dealer. It worked for about a month and quit again. A second hole was burned in the leather seat in the same place and three holes were burned through the material of two coats. My wife indicated that the passenger side seat became so hot that after a couple of minutes she had to turn it off. Both seats were checked and found to be. They found to be malfunctioning. I had both seats disconnected to prevent any further damage by accident. We have subsequently learned that two of our friends have general motors vehicles in which the heated seats failed. They did not have them repaired or replaced because of the cost. My concern is one of safety. It seems to me that if it got hot enough to burn through leather, and burn holes in my coats, it could be extremely dangerous and could cause an accident as well as extensive damage to the vehicle. Both my secretary and my daughter had indicated that they would like to have heated seats in their vehicles. I have told them of my experience. I am very concerned for the safety of persons who do go to the expense of having these kinds of seats installed in their cars.
