When at 3 bars, my heated seat gets pretty hot. I used the maximum 3 bars to warm it up then turn it down to 1 bar. If there is a service bulletin for this, I will take it in for safety reason.

My problem is less than that (literally). My seat back is nice and warm (not too hot) but my seat bottom does not seem to warm. I think I've got to check into this with the dealer, since it seems consistently off on the bottom.
Maybe it's just a wiring harness.....

Roost, I've played with the seat heater settings and in no case does it seem to make any difference. That's why if seems to be disconnected somehow... :'(

Don't know about service bulletin but mine lit my a-$ up.? Burned a hole in the leather and my pants. Dealer had to replace the seat cover and the heating element. Service tech stated this was not the first one they have seen.
