On Dec 11, 2025, the driver’s heated seat in my 2013 Ford Edge overheated within minutes of activation, causing first- and second-degree burns to the occupant. The vehicle was inspected on March 18, 2026 and escalated for management review, but the manufacturer failed to provide the promised follow-up by March 26, 2026, and the defect remains unresolved, posing an ongoing risk of injury. No problems prior to ever using the heated seats.
Driver's seat began to rock back and forth with vehicle motion. Seat is power with memory. Dealer states that its a known issue with no recall or TSB. Quoted $1600 for replacement. Seat has now began to move forward under braking conditions, and aft under acceleration. This is an unsafe condition that could be a major contributing factor to an accident. Upon inspection of the seat track, the guide rails have began seperating and have become loose.
I drove for over 8 hours with the seat warmer on high and I literally burned my bottom. I ended up having to go to an urgent care a few days later where they prescribed antibiotics and a prescribed ointment. It had a bug blister which broke and now open wound. It is definitely a burn and now treating for wound care.
Drivers seat rocks backwards about 5 inches upon acceleration and rocks forward when stopping. When it rocks backwards you feel as if the seat is going to go over backwards and you panic for a second before recovering. This is going to cause an accident. This is a common problem with Ford Edge driver seats.
