The heated steering wheel is one option I wish I had. My LT has Bose, leather, power rear window, blah, blah, blah...but no heated steering wheel. I could really use it this winter here in New England where we’ve been freezing our asses off. Bummer

You would think if had all those options it would have a heated steering wheel.
I love mine, I just wish it turned on when I start my truck via remote.

I have a 2014 LTZ.  The driver side seat heater does not work.  Is there a fix for this, or just live with it?  Is this something I can do or do I need to take it to the dealer?  It is not under warranty, sadly to say.

Well, most anything can be fixed, just depends on your individual skill level. You’ll have to troubleshoot the problem of why they don’t work & then make the necessary repairs. More than likely, the seat will have to be removed and at least partially disassembled.
If you’re comfortable with all that, then you can maybe do it yourself, otherwise you’ll have to take it to the dealer.

thank you for your answer.  I fully understand it depends on my skill level and all that.  I guess what i was trying to ask was...is this a known problem?  And if so, is there a recall for this?  If not, I will repair it myself.   Thanks in advance.

They are known for having crappy seat heaters; however, it’s not really nailed down to a single issue. For example, my 2014 is going in tomorrow because neither bottom seat heaters work but they don’t share the same problem.
There wouldn’t be a recall as it’s not a safety concern. I believe there is a TSB on it though.

This is why I always order ----- you don't spend the next several years telling people what you wish you had.
