Heated steering wheel and seats barely get warm

[shaner82]

Got a 2019 Warlock with heated seats and steering wheel. Trying to figure out if this is normal for these trucks or not.

My seats and steering wheel get luke warm at best. As far as I'm concerned, there's a lack of heat to both. With my F150, after 20 minutes or so I'd have to turn my seats off because I would be cooking, even with winter clothes on. With this Ram, I can barely feel the heat from the wheel or seat.

Is this normal? These were both must have options for me, but there's just so little heat that it seems like a waste of money for me.

My 17 Sport has the same options. My seats heat are to standard and the steering wheel gets so hot, sometimes I must turn off the steering wheel heat.

This isn’t normal at all. My 300 (my ram doesn’t have heated seats/steering wheel YET) gets blazing hot. Steering wheel/seats will cook you it gets so hot if you don’t turn them off. I’d take it to a dealer.

My 17 Laramie seats and wheel got very warm almost immediately until recently. The seat got so warm that I almost didn't notice when the truck warmed up and the heater kicked in. Recently it seems to take much longer for the seat to get warm and the backrest is much slower than the cushion. I plan to have the dealer check this but I was waiting until my next oil change. Please post here if you find out anything related to this issue.

My steering gets nice and warm quite quickly, but the seats get barely noticeably warm. I complained at the dealer during a service and they said, "they tested and it tested Normal, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
I kinda got the vibe they felt I was a whiney ***** that my seats don't get warm enough, so I didn't press it.

My seats in my 2017bighorn barely got warm I used alphaobd and set the seats to think they are perforated leather and now I sometimes have to turn them to low they get quite warm.

Leather in my truck and steering wheel get quite hot. I think it might be the material that is absorbing some of the heat...

I have the same Mojave package and find the steering wheel gets really hot quick but those half cloth half vinyl seats (especially the bottom) are just barely warm too. Did you ever get a fix for it?
