1 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2017

In 2017, my passenger seat warmer quit working and in 2018, my drivers side seat warmer stopped working. Both act the same. When the switch is pressed to activate the heater, the light is on for ~3 seconds and then it goes off. The seat does not heat.

2 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2016

I purchased my Fusion in September and in November started using the heating option on the drivers side seat. It would get so hot I had to shut it off as it felt like it was burning me, my skin was extremely sore after using the heater for a short time. En in December it quit working completely. I took it to a Ford dealership recently and was told it would cost around $500 to fix and my extended warranty does not cover it. I have found numerous complaints on the internet about this and am hoping forr a recall or assistance in paying to have this fixed.

3 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2016

Driver seat, heater got super hot to the point of burning a few time, then stopped working altogether by 68k miles. Brakes, right side front completely wore thru outside pad only by 48k miles, right rear did same thing by 70k. In both instances only one pad was shot. Why only one pad wearing to backing plate, looks like pads not releasing. Electrical, all windows, including moon roof, open by themselves while nowhere near car and it's locked.
