IWRBB Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 You guys have a first year vehicle. There will be problems. I bought a 2010 for a reason, they generally have most of the issues worked out by the last model year, then they design a new one that has all kind of new flaws, that'll all be corrected by the time their are getting to replace it with anotherner new model with new issues, and so on and and so forth. It's not just Ford- all makes have issues with new designs. You get to bleed a little when you get the bleeding edge of an automakers products. Not only are you guys first year, most are probably from the first production runs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Matt Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just checked mine. Hot in five minutes. And you could feel it on the front of the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
built2prfctn Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Has anyone went to the dealer for this? My cooled seats dont seem to get very cool. Wonder if it has anything to do with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmick Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 My titanium has 11500 miles, I picked it up in late April. Looking back, my seat tends to sometimes not get cold, but it deals like nothing is happening or actually getting warmer. Never really thought too much about it until seeing this forum actually. I basically "live" in this thing so I have many miles and hours of drive time, sometimes it seems that it cools significantly, others not so much. I will check and see through "my sources" if this is coming up and being worked on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torquer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I work in a warehouse and for better or worse, I often sit in my car at lunch with the AC (and cooled seats) running. I checked today and I did not feel heat coming through to my back on the upper half of the seat. I will say the butt area of the seat gets much cooler than the back, though I do feel the coolness. I put my hand on the rear side of the seat back and I felt warmth for sure, but it was not "hot." I'll keep checking to see if it varies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeth Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I just picked up my Titanium Edge this past Friday, and I tried the Ventilated Seat Test of 2015. Even on Level 1, I can reach around behind and feel the warm spot on the mid-back of the seat after even a minute. I tried it on Level 3 on an hour long trip Friday evening, and it was considerably warm to the touch. Didn't really feel it on my back so much, but if I was in the back seat accidentally hitting that spot, it would be jarring how warm/hot it was.

akirby Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 There must be a duct somewhere to exhaust the heat - under the seat somewhere. Lack of air coming out of that duct would confirm that the duct came loose inside the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedgeamatic Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Have you seen the comment on the F150 page? Someone over there used a infared device to show the temps of the seat and seat back. The temp was almost 10 degrees warmer on the seat back. The "back" of the seat back, where the so called heat exhaust is registered at 120 degrees. Unreal. I'll be scheduling my vehicle for the dealer next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torquer Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 To revise my comments above, now that I'm paying attention each time I'm running the cooled seats, I'm seeing this too. I wish I still had my 2014 Fusion to compare it to, but this is annoying to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitziemills Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I just got my 2015 Edge titanium. Definitely has the same issue. Both front seat backs get really hot when the seat cooler is running. I let the dealership know that I will need to have this fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassan.syed Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 TSB 15-0166 has been issued for this problem. I have an appointment today for this issue on my titanium. Dealership had earlier said seats were cooling "as they were designed to" prior to the service bulletin. Lol. I guess they come up with whatever bs explanation they can think of if they can't figure out the solution... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
