Do our heated seats get warm enough - or is there a problem?

Hmm thats weird I have an 07 350 and when I turn on the heater to 3, it gets pretty hot hat I have to turn it down or off. When I set it to 3 on cold, it feels like a little blow dryer lol, interesting there might be a problem.

i think it does get pretty warm, but it gets there on the slow side. takes quite a while.

but then again i am in CA, i don't know how it performs in colder regions

I have an '06 GS300 & my seats get warm. I had new heating elements installed since it's still under warranty & still, just warm. My '04 Toyota Sienna seats get hot - too hot at times. So there's no flaw with yours dude.

Most of the time I don't use them anyway unless it's really frozen out. I'm more concerned with leaving some headroom for the battery to charge than using every gadget in the car all the time since I mostly do short trips only.

The seats in my 2010 get plenty warm, and within a mile or so I can feel it.

I had a 2006 Infiniti M45 that I took to the dealer three times complaining about it. I could drive the car 30 minutes with them on high and never felt heat at all. They told me they were working fine. They actually told me they were only designed to heat to something like 68 degrees. My *** was providing more heat to the seat than the other way around, so I never felt it.
