Beezz Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 For me: Bottom of seats cool when the AC system is running, backs do not When the AC system is off, the backs cool, the bottoms do not I am beyond confused. Going to have my dealer take a look soon, just concerned about seat damage as other posters have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0lkman Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Confirm, for me as well - when AC is turned off, I feel backs are being ventilated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichBiz Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Took my 2016 Ford Edge Sport into the dealership today because the back of my seats didn't feel like they were cooling. After a day in the shop, the service advisor called to tell me that the seats are working as designed. Cooling to 50 degrees on the bottom and 70 degrees on the back. I told him that I didn't feel any air coming from the back or cooling at all and he said he didn't know what to tell me. My Edge was built 5/16 after the service bulletin... I guess I should send a complaint to Ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Known problem. There is a TSB but most say it doesn't work. You're pretty much stuck with the way they work until Ford redesigns it sometime next year (hopefully). There is a person on the f150 forums who 3D printed a part that supposedly works much better but it's expensive and you have to install it yourself or pay somebody.

cjh Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 The only way I know the back is cooling is when I forget to turn the cooled seat on when it's warm outside. After 5-10 minutes, I notice I'm a bit warmer than normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Proefrock Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) I had the TSB performed and didn't solve the problem. Owning a F150 with cooled seats, I was intimately aware of the issue and the fact the seats are almost identical. There is a lot of discussion of the problem on the F150Forum, which led to someone finally coming up with a solution. I installed Tim's fix and it did solve it. Thanks alot, Ford. Why did I have to buy components to resolve YOUR warranty issue. This is a link to his site. SeatGuru It can be fixed, but unfortunately, it isn't inexpensive.

jwm22222 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Fwiw I do note that the cooled seats on my 2016 Edge Sport are functional but barely. When my back is a bit sweaty I can definitely feel the cooling from the seat backs. That's the only time I can feel it but under that circumstance I do find it helpful.
