But also note that FCA states and points out that it is a convenience feature and that if there is an issue it can simple be turned off. Meaning they don’t give a rats ass that you wanted the feature and purchased because of said feature that they want to say just go without.

A convenience feature that should work properly. In other words, should heat up.

Got this in the mail today in response to my Arbitration Hearing next week. FCA’s official response states they designed the heated seated not to work as described in the owners manual and as promised at time of purchase.

I hope I have some common sense 3rd party ppl on my side for my documentation Arbitration Hearing next week...

Unbelievable!

I think that's saying the truck arrives at their dealer on the 18th then the customer picked it up on the 20th

No i think someone made a mistake because it goes on about how the “customer was informed” blah blah blah. If it arrived at the dealer that day thy wouldnt be talking about that

I send them invoices where I paid extra to FCA aka the Dealership for their Factory approved 6” Lift a week before I took delivery of the truck....

At least they are consistent...

I was able to finally sit down and read that whole letter from FCA.....wtf?!? @GLucas be sure to tell them that 2018 trucks with ONLY heated seats and wheel are having this issue. I have tested a few 2018 trucks that have both heated and vented seats and they do not shut down after only a few minutes. If that truly was how they were designed to operate then you and I both have defective driver seats then since both of our driver seats seem to stay on the way the owners manual states they should. This is going to be very interesting to hear how your arbitration hearing goes. I really hope you get a competent arbitrator who is willing to listen to your evidence and show FCA that they are jerking us around.

My 2018 2500 has only heated seats and steering wheel and it doesn’t shut down like this. My daughter had the passenger side heat on yesterday for at least 30 minutes until her school bus decided to show up late as usual. I shut it off when I got home.

Here is the latest... there are several docs to look through but it boils down to if you ever go to Arbitration NEVER submit your case early. They will use your information and twist it against you. Then they submit their claim on the final date leaving you with no time to respond to their false account of the situation. Thanks for all your support and commitment guys it has been a source of great encouragement and entertainment at times.

My response in the attached will not be available for Arbitration board to consider. My hope is they are a body of sensible, fair and just people that can see the facts through the BS.
Praying for fair ruling next Tuesday.

Light up their social media sites. That seems to work OK in this day and age.

The last-minute-submission thing is about as dirty as some of their dealers.

Everyone here with heated seats could write in for you as to how they function. From what I've read here and on my 3 Chrysler products, heated seats stay on until switched off. Just let me know and I'm in.

I sure was right on grabbing the popcorn.

Save some for me, this is going to get interesting. I’ll bring beer.

How do we start a petition or vote thing on here? I'd like to start one and have eveyone who has I'd say a 2016 all the way to the new 2019s submit their vote stating whether their heated seats stay on or not.
