| Front Seat Heater/cooler problems |
The driver's side seat heater randomly comes on. If you turn it off it comes right back on again and cycles through the various heat settings. It creates a dangerous distraction in the florida heat. I've taken it to numerous dealers, none of which can fix it. I call gm and they won't even consider it until I take it back to a dealer saying they will only get involved if I have taken it to a dealer within the last 30 days. One dealer told me that was a lie, there is no 30 day requirement. This issue is more of a distraction than texting. Looking it up online it's a common problem but gm denies it even though gm did issue a TSB to have the drivers door module reprogrammed. I had that done and it made the problem worse. A straight up safety issue. I have the same problem with a 2005 suburban and filed a complaint on that one too. Nothing came of that either so it appears this site and agency is nothing more than a sounding board. Gm and NHTSA cannot afford to distance themselves from this.
