My driver heating element in my seat stopped working. I went to get it fixed and that’s when they noticed the charred heating pad in the seat had burnet makers on it. I have picture showing that the electrical part in the heating pad indicator has black marks around the wires and burnt through the pad and the electrical coils. The seat under the leather part had damage to it. This would have caused a fire. I’m very lucky. I bought the part on [xxx]. I just want to be reimburse from Ford dealership the part cost. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Check engine light came on.
I purchased this car used. Tested all functions of the car before a decided to buy it. The heated drivers seat worked fine when I purchased it. I went to use the heated seat about 2 weeks later, it came on and about 30 secs later went off and hasn't worked since. The passenger seat works fine but not the drivers seat. In checking different Ford forums, it appears this is a chronic problem with the drivers side heated seat in Fusions. This appears to be happening in any situation. Standing still, driving or running or not.
The driver front seat heated seat isn't working . It got really hot burning my bottom and then shut off and never came back on . When you push the button it comes on and then immediately shuts off . The passenger side still works .
My 2011 Ford Fusion (purchased in the fall of 2010) has a recent issue with the heated seats. They are getting so hot that it is burning me. I have to turn them off at that point. I have loved the heated seats the whole time I have had the car. It seems like this should be a safety issue. It just started happening about a month ago.
The driver side heated seat overheated and become so hot it nearly burns the driver's leg . To avoid leg burn I have to turn it to the lowest heat setting. After two weeks of this, the heated seat failed to operate. A moment after depressing the heated seat button it would turn off. I took the vehicle in for service upon which it was found the seat heating element had a burnt/broken heating wire. The fabric it was woven into was severely burnt and it appeared a wonder the entire seat did not catch fire as result. I have kept the burnt heating element assembly if anyone wishes to examine it.
