My seats get "slightly warm" when on the highest setting. So I thought I would have it addressed at my next oil change.

While my car was at the dealership (to have this and other problems looked at along with the oil change) they rented me a 2016 gmc acadia slt.

The heated seats were great!!!! So I definitely thought my seats were broken in my tahoe....nope, "all models are like that now, too many complaints about seats getting too hot."

My thought was that is why there are 3 different settings, turn down the seat and don't have yor seat on so high.

Im surprised that there are not more complaints about this. Anybody else have this issue?

Yes I complained to my dealer about the seats not getting hot enough, and they told me that is how they are supposed to be...... I think he told me that the hot seats damage the leather or some BS. Either way - ridiculous. I guess that is what you get when you spend that much money on a GM.

It is frustrating when they cost as much as BMW's and Mercedes, but aren't nearly as luxurious or polished.

I have had my heated seat burn out on me twice now. The dealer doesn't understand why... but when it does work it doesn't seem to heat like my 08 Trailblazer did. The dealer has said that the seats in the new trucks have a lower temp setting. Really stupid. They don't even heat up enough to actually feel that there is heat. Very frustrating.

This is what GM tells them to say. GM doesn't want to fix any problems. They hope we will just go away. Guess what GM. I'm here to stay and be the BIGGEST PAIN IN YOUR ASS.

The heated seats are terrible on all these 2015-2016 GM SUV's ! none of them get very hot, and take FOREVER to even get warm. Our old Suburban and Escalade seats were great! Just added a 295.00 seat heater to my daily driver from katskin. they are 100X then our $85,000.00 Escalade's seats. These SUV's are a JOKE!

And GM/GMC walks LAUGHING all the way to the bank. Our tax dollars at work.

Dropping the wife's XL Denali off Monday to have the drivers seat warmer replaced. The Yukon's heated seats suck in comparison to my Sierra Denali

2016 Yukon Denali heated seats not working properly, don't turn on with remote start and barely emit any heat. This is my 4th Yukon Denali... so I know what the seats are supposed to do... and they are NOT doing it. Dealer says nothing wrong... but as I said this is my 4th one, and all 4 of my older models of the same car heated consistently, and without issue. What is going on????

Hi rls2rsr,
It saddens us to learn about your Yukon concerns. This is far from the experience you should expect to have with a new model vehicle, and we apologize for any frustration caused.

Right Brandon J. You and GM could "GIVE A SHIT" about us that have got these POS. You and GM/GMC can crawl back into what ever hole you all came from and STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You or GM/GMC "ARE NOT" going to fix anything for anyone. So, quit trying to "BULL SHIT US." All of you have a Happy Christmas on our dollar.

I am having the same issues with my 2016 Tahoe. Barely heating and won't heat at all from auto start. We can have the warmers on for an hour and they'll turn themselves down and we didn't even realize they were still on. Dealer says they meet specs and can't do anything. Called GM and they can't give me any answers either. They couldn't even tell me if the seat warmers have been modified in the newer models. I traded in a 2008 Tahoe and the warmers were awesome! Very disappointed I can't get answers.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
