Has anyone experienced their driver-side seat heating up without pressing the heated seat button on the dashboard. In the last week it has happened to me twice at the end of a 45 minute plus trip that the lower back part of my seat is heating up (does not appear to be the bottom part of my seat). When I look at the heated seat indicators, they are off and I am sure I never pressed them.
Is this an electrical problem with the I-Drive? This appears to me to be a new problem which I did not have before I had the Bosch chip replaced due to the recall (and, I believe, had Version #12 upgraded).
Ideas?

Never heard about that problem, but you should see your dealer ASAP to have it fixed!
Stuff that works by itself when it's not supposed to work, is VERY serious!

And I would definately not drive with it anymore, just because they are too lazy to search. Usually you get the: "how can I solve a problem that is currently not there" BS. They can have the car and check every single wire and everything.
If you keep driving with problems like this... who knows, maybe one day your car is on fire...
They have to check everything and make sure they find the problem!
