Apparently this has happened to hundreds if not thousands of ford trucks from 2009-2014 and…

My 2015 lariat has heated/cooled leather front seats. When using the seat cooling function i noticed the seat bottom would cool but the seat back seemed to get warm. At first i thought it was my imagination. Attempted to use it on friday and about 30 minutes later my back was hot. I pulled over, felt the seat back with my palm, then my cheek and it was hot to the touch.

Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, the back of the front seats reach extreme temperatures, resulting in burning everyone that touches the back of the front seats. I've measure the temperatures, at the top of the map pocket, at over 115 degrees, when ambient temperatures were at 75 degrees. When ambient temperatures rise above 90 degrees, the front…

When the ac control for the front seats is in use the back of the seats can reach temperatures of 110 degrees when the temperature in the cab is 73 degrees. This temperature could burn my children who ride in the back seats or even cause damage to the seat or risk of fire. I have seen multiple accounts of this on the web and from other owners of 2015 ford f150 with this option.

Cooled seats do not cool. Instead the back of the seats, the part that touches my back, gets hot all the time. It's a fire hazard. It feels as if the heated seats were on all the time. Other customers have reported temperatures up to 150 degrees: http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2015/accessories-interior/seat_temperature_control_not_working_properly.shtml
