#35 of 44 MY HEATED SEATS HEAT TOO WELL!!!!!! by sylle2007

Jan 24, 2008 (3:24 pm)

AFTER DRIVING MY 2007 SUBURBAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 51/2 HOURS NONSTOP WITH MY HEATED SEATS ON WHEN I ARRIVED HOME MY CLOTHES WHERE STICKING I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO MAYBE SITTING SO LONG AND POSSIBLY SWEATING BECAUSE I HAD ON A EXTRA HEAVY SWEAT SUIT PLUS A COAT. BUT THE NEXT MORNING BOTH MY LEGS WERE BLISTERED AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS COULD NOT TAKE THE PAIN NOR NURSE MY BLISTERS ANY LONGER BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING INFECTIONS I SOUGHT PROFESSIONAL HELP WHERE I FIND I HAD 1ST DEGREE BURNS ON BOTH LEGS. I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE, I HAVE NOT USED MY HEATED SEATS SINCE EXCEPT THEY COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I START THE VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE BUT I MAKE CERTAIN THEY ARE NOT ON WHEN I SIT DOWN .

My Legacy GT has very hot seats, but I turn them off before I get burnt.

I know there have been numerous discussions on aftermarket heated seats but you must be aware of Auto Warm and HeatedSeatkits.com. They are the same company. I purchased $280 worth of heated seat pads from HeatedSeatKits.com and found one of the LED Switches to be defective. I immediately tried to get a new part but without success. This company is out of Vancouver Canada and does not allow you to speak to a live person. Instead they refer you to their website and charge you for the part plus shipping. There are better companies out there that will provide better customer service and stand by their product.

#40 of 44 Heatedseatkits.com vs CheckCorp by lisalee2

Hey guys,
 
I am currently looking for an aftermarket heated seat kit that offers both heat and massage. The only 2 companies that I found which offer this is CheckCorp and heatedseats.com. Has anyone had any experiences with either of the 2? I've not heard good things about heatedseatkits.com, but I just want more feedback.
 
Thanks.

I called them for assistance on purchasing no reply. I e-mailed them, my e-mail was kicked back no valid address. I can't imagine how frustrating this would be if you had the seat out of your car and needed assistance or if there was a malfunction a bit later. Thumbs down on heatedseatkits.
