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. Our team would like to further investigate your situation. At your earliest convenience could you please send us a private message? Within your message be sure to include your full contact information, VIN, current vehicle mileage, the involved dealership and any applicable service request numbers.

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.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
