Intermittent heated seats

[jumbojake]

We've just finished our 1000mile road trip holiday in our 2015 Rx450.... apart from a puncture, no significant problems... even managed 36mpg for one tank!

We did notice the heated seats seemed to behave differently.... the passenger seat warms up and stays warm.... the driver seat warms up then goes cold for a while before warming up again.

Just curious if this is expected or common behaviour.

Hi

a member in the LS forum had a similar problem on his 600h- it was found to be relay or similar component at fault - the dealer did misdiagnose incorrectly at first and replaced the seat base !! - thankfully it was a warranty job so the member was not out of pocket

i would speak to the deaaler in the first instance

Just an update on this one.... They had a look at this, all sorted under warranty.  They could not identify the fault, but replaced some parts and so far it is working perfectly.... on constantly (my wife has it on even in this heat, helps with her back).

They lent us the new style model ... little bit more space and slightly newer tech, but they seem to have gone for a BMW style dashboard, but with lots of creaking plastic.... just our opinion, but we think ours is much better build quality..

Top marks to Tunbridge Wells team ... best Lexus dealer we have used so far for both sales and service.
