Got new back and seats, still not working. Dealer gave me a loaded CX7 to drive until resolution. He is trying to get a factory rep to come in and look at it.

Thanks so much for keeping us posted. My dealer told me, that Mazda Canada told them, that the dealer could replace all my seats and it would not make any difference. They have told me Mazda Canada are supposed to be working on some kind of software fix, but they said all this some time ago. Again, thanks for the update.

Dealer says it may be two weeks before a Mazda tech comes to them. Let me know if you get any resolution.

Dealer says Mazda USA says no software problem, design flaw on the thermostats location. Says rep will bring factory techs with him to try to resolve problem, but may take several weeks to arrange.

Heated Seats

This actually makes sense to me. My heated seats are now working - sometimes. When it is cold out and I go out in the car first thing in the morning, the seat seems to work. Does not stay on for very long, but does work. Only works once per day though. If I try the seat again later in the day it does not work. Maybe that is because the car is a little warmer and the thermostat is somehow sensing this???

I was out this morning and it was a cold, rainy morning. Not sure what the temperature was. I was out by myself and my heated seat worked fine. That was in the morning. Later in the day I tried my seat again and it would not work. Then my wife and I went out to dinner this evening. The passenger seat had not been used all day. My wife's heated seat worked but mine did not. The temperature outside was 44 degrees. We had gone out for dinner and left about 11:30 P.M. When we left it was 42 degrees outside and both of our heated seats worked. This just does not make any sense to me.

I was at my dealer today (on another matter - had winter tires put on) and am told that Mazda Canada now has a fix for the problem with the heated seats. It is some kind of "sensor pad". Not sure how it works, but I briefly saw the drawing the dealer had on their computer. It looks like some kind of pad that goes underneath the leather seats. I did not get into a lot of detail with them, but they did assure me that this is the fix. My dealer does not yet have the parts in stock and said they should have them within the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted.

I just got my new 2010 GT.
I expected the seats not to work and... they didn't 
Only this morning (I got the car yesterday), the driver seat did work. Quitre well, actually. After a very short drive, they worked again (so the second time). The second driving session took a little longer, like 5 minutes. The seat did not warm the third time, but I have to say it was already warm. I wonder if they do not start if the seat is already worm, as in not "morning" cold.
