Heated Seat Discussion (merged threads)
#301
so i had the same problem on my 14 IS350, complained to the dealer who tested it to be 'within factory spec' however after complaining in the followup email, they agreed to take it for 2 days and replaced the foam,nuluxe base, heater and amplifier with the newer one. it is now 2 degrees warmer when tested but it feels much warmer now. i'm very happy with my seats now.
wow. how much complaining did you have to do? also noticed you're in canada, anyone from the USA able to get this resolved?

Both my 12 Camry Hybrid and 11 Sienna heated seat work much much better than the 200T.
Complain to dealer and get the same respond everyone get. It's just suck.
My brother ES Hybrid work just good or better than the Camry.

These seats have thermostats/sensors that controls the temp. On max setting they should be around 38 deg C give or take. This data can easily be read from OBD. When dealer says it is operating within spec ask them to show readouts from techstream. Also have them measure the surface temp with IR thermometer. I bet you the temp will be around 26 even on max setting which is lower than your body temp.

It's winter time here in Chicago and its so sad that after paying over 50 grand for this car, my bum still feels cold even though the heated seats are on max settings.. Hope Lexus does better in the future.
