“I was informed by a GM dealer that there was a bulletin affecting these vehicles that have the issue of the seat warmers and cooling system to malfunction. I was told that the module needs to be replaced and the harness was fryed , leading me to believe that there was an electrical problem which to me sounds as though a fire or some burning event occurred. The repair cost was $990 and I called GM for assistance. …”
NHTSA complaint #10825716, filed 2016-02, 118,000 miles“The heated seat had stopped working. The heated/cooled seat module located under the passenger seat had a burnt connector. It looked like it could have easily started a fire. This seems to be a common problem as the technician at the dealer said he has seen this same problem many times.”
