“Driver seat warmer failed to turn off when pressing buttons on myford touch system, or by turning off climate all together. It remained activated on high setting for 35 minutes. Seat warmers are suppose to turn off after 15 minutes. Only got it to turn off by turning vehicle completely off while stopped at a red light. I felt the heat on my back side for approximately 1 hour after. This vehicle passed the Ford certified pre-owned check list. What a huge disappointment.”
