Front Seat Heater/cooler problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the heated seat element for the front driver's seat became extremely hot. The contact stated that the seat warmer was not inoperable. The vehicle was taken to huntington Ford Lincoln (located at 333 w jericho turnpike, huntington, NY 11743, (833) 386-3267) where it was determined that the seat was not covered under a warranty and there was no recall on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 58,800.

My drivers side heated seat began to get warmer than usual when I would use it. It would become so warm that I would have to turn it off because it was getting too hot and I was afraid that it would burn me. After a few weeks of this happening the seat heater stopped functioning properly all together. I would press the heated seat button and it would illuminate for a few seconds (maybe 2-3) and then shut off on its own, as if something were tripping a fault. The seat does not get warm at all before the switch turns off automatically. It is apparent based on research that this is a very common issue with the Ford Fusion. I have taken the car into the dealership and I was told the heating unit would cost almost $400 and to replace the leather seat is over $1000. Over the past few years in michigan, I have had over a 10% pay cut as a teacher. I can not afford to fix this common problem. Please ask Ford to fix this problem with no cost.

I turned on my driver side seat heater and it go extremely hot in one spot. I had to turn it off and tried it at a later date and same thing. In fact, it was as though it wouldn't turn off since it felt as hot as when it was on. It did eventually cool down. Wow! I now have a hole burnt in my leather seat!!! this is obviously a big problem on two counts . . . . One could get burnt plus the car could catch on fire.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the air bag wires failed and caused the air bag warning light to remain illuminated. The dealer performed a diagnostic, which located a failure code that the air bag wires were loose. The dealer adjusted the air bag wires; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The dealer performed a second diagnostic, which located a failure code for which the air bag restraint module needed to be replaced. The restraint module was not replaced. The contact also stated that the heated seat feature failed due to defective seat covers that caused the heating system wires to loosen. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.
