Nope

Wow.....bet it is the same parts/problems! Hope Ford fixes.

Someone could use a laser thermometer and take before and after temp readings. Unfortunately, I can't give you the "exact" temp I felt last night. I can tell you that it was hot enough to cause discomfort. Not enough to burn or blister. But enough to make our backs uncomfortable, "hot" and sweaty. Significantly warmer than the rest of the seat. And an unacceptable temperature for a cooled seat.

Wow.....bet it is the same parts/problems! Hope Ford fixes.

I honestly REALLY loved the car. I was ready to buy! But when dropping close to 40 large on a car, I want it 100%. If a remedy could have been presented by the dealer (like its a loose duct we will fix it), other than we don't know why it's doing it or how to fix it.....I might have still took the deal. I'm going to look at a Kia Sorrento Limited tonight and see what it's like.

Agreed. Bummer....

What are the chances both vehicles I looked at had a loose duct? I'll wait to see if someone can confirm this...

Awesome thanks!

wouldn't the mkx have the same design?

I felt "cool" to0. UNTIL that motor started throwing off heat into the seat. It is not an illusion. The salesman and manager both felt it and acknowledged the definite HEAT resonating from the motor. (And it cost them a sale).

Thanks. I'm curious if anyone has reported the problem to Ford and if they are working on a fix. Both of our backs were noticeably and uncomfortably hot. If it was just the back of the seat, I wouldn't have cared as much. But it was hot on our backs....

If someone could please run the cooled seat, highest setting, about 30 mins. Feel BEHIND the seat near the map pocket and let me know if they feel heat. On the front of the seat it will be about midway down your back. Thanks!

Not the seat base, the seat BACK.

The blower is no doubt in the seat back. I placed my ear against the back in the "hot zone" and could clearly hear it running. The dealer also stated it was in the seat back. I had the cooled seat operating about 30mins, GA heat.

Hey all! I went shopping for a new Edge this week. Wife loves them and it's the only car she wants. Found a beautiful White titanium. Test drove last night and I was sold. But we discovered a problem. The ventilated seats make the seats HOT. In the back of the seat just behind the map pouch, I could feel intense heat radiating out the back. I believe a blower motor is housed there and is HOT when running. In time it began to make the front of the seat back extremely hot, to the point is was uncomfortable. The dealer said they have never seen or heard of the problem before and acknowledged that they felt the heat too. I made them pull another Edge around and the SAME problem. Needless to say we walked (ran) on the deal. Have any of you experienced this problem too? Had it been reported to Ford? Is there a fix?
