Default felt electric pulsations in driver seats?
it was like short pulsations / vibrations. they were electronic.

i turned off heated seat and it still did it. is it from heated seat function?

There's a Peltier fan motor under there that cools the seats; the heating is accomplished with heating coils. It's possible that this motor is cycling, and may be defective.

it takes time for the heater/cooler to shut off. Either that or the matrix is malfunctioning again and it needs a reboot.
