Heated Seats

[RamDiver]

Thanks for the confirmation.
From those who have measured, this seems to be the consensus.
95-100 on low 100+ on high, anyone in this range feels their seats are working well or too well.

As a previous poster mentioned, skin temp is around 93.

It is quite clear that mine have more than just "a percieved" underperformance as Dodge states in there file...
The feature is in fact underperforming.

You're most welcome, Paul.

Hopefully, all these reports of warmer seats will assist you in finding a resolution with this dealer or better support from another, if required.

I know that I wouldn't let this slide, either.

Best of luck.

My 2017 Laramie seats got quite toasty and pretty quickly too. Not sure why yours wouldn't do the same, but they should be felt.

My 2017 Laramie with leather seats takes forever to get luke warm--but according to dealer working just fine

I tried getting some readings but since it was warm out yesterday it seemed to not heat up as much as it usually does so I'll recheck the next cold day. The steering wheel for example barely felt warm. The seat read 94°f .

Had my dealer trip today for the new drive shaft on the 2022 classic, I had them check out the heated seats, apparently it’s not just me and this is Chryslers response, hence nothing the dealer can do. But they as well are known of the issue and this is what they hand the customers. Gotta love it!

WOW!

That's complete horse$hit. I have a 2021 Warlock DS and the seat bottom temperature I last measured was 98F set to low, IIRC.

That's the exact same letter I received. They say you have to phone dodge and lodge a complaint. If you read the letter though, it states that there is a perceived difference between driver and passenger seats, which there is. It doesn't answer, nor do they give an answer for what the actual output measured temperature should be. This is an underperformance issue that Dodge needs to actually look into and not fluff off with that letter

Is that good or bad, I need to borrow my temperature gun from work one day and test mine

I sat in both of mine and felt as if they were the same. Feels better now that it was 25°F here finally but still. Trucks more so only driven before the salts down on the roads so it doesn’t bother me to much, but when the old Tahoe dies and this is my daily I will probably me more mad

From the few members that have reported an actual temperature, it seems within the normal range for the low setting but much warmer the the OP's seat set to high.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I was able to line up a thermal imaging camera finally. To reiterate my point that mine don't get overly hot. As you can see from the attached image the temp ranges from 10-27.9 Celcius or 50-82.4 F. This was done after vehicle had been driven for 15 minutes with seats on high setting.

Well I just found more settings for the seat heaters that allows you to change the Celsius for each setting. No I haven't tried it, literally just found it.
It's under COMFORT.

Not sure I would use something that can't even spell temperature!! Haha

It's AlfaOBD. Well known here in the forum. I use it regularly without issue. I don't care if spelling isn't the developers strong suit. But I hear yah.

I get it...I know it has been used a lot by people on here. I just found it funny they couldn't spell. The main reason I wouldn't use it is because I'm too dumb with technology to do it. I would probably blow up my truck somehow if I tried to use it!! Haha

Alpha OBD was made by a developer from Italy I believe - which explains the odd spellings of things...

I found something very different in my 1500, but when I connected to the MY2018+ heated seat controller. But even with the KAoDTech bypass cable, I can't write to the controller. (I have written to a LOT of the rest of the truck, so I know the cable works for that stuff.)
