2015: “When using the ventilated seats the upper part of the seat heats up (between my should blades). It appears to happen randomly. Sometimes it doesn't heat up and other times it does. When it does heat up it gets so hot that I have to turn off the ventilated seats. It is not ambient or trapped hot air because I often start my car using the Lexus remote to start my car and let it run for 5-8 minutes so my vehicle can cool down (and warm up) before I get in and start driving it.”
