I have cooled front leather seats. When turned on, the seat backs become very hot instead of being cooled. This has been reported on a number of websites by quite a few people and ford has issued a service bulletin. This is one site where nearly 700 people report a similar problem http://www.f150forum.com/f118/cooling-seats-issue-tsb-feedback-304154. This occurs when the vehicle is both stationary or in motion, on…

Driver side front seat feels as if it moves from side to side as the vehicle corners. It feels as if a part is loose in the horizontal portion of the seat. This started occurring a few months after purchase (dec. 2015).

In some affected ford vehicles with climate controlled seats it is found that excessive temperatures in excess of 132 degrees f can be reached on the rear of the front seats. This area is just above the magazine pocket which causes an increase risk of contact with the high temperatures. Children often store books in the magazine pocket and come in contact with the leather upholstery that is at an elevated…

I have been having an ongoing issue with my transmission, where it shifts rough or does not shift appropriately. When the truck shifts rough, i barely have my foot on the accelerator, where it will slam into gear causing the truck to jolt. I also have been experiencing the truck failing to downshift out of 4th gear while going uphills. While going uphills, the rpms will go below 1000, where the truck will begin to…

When you turn on the seat cooler, the bottom will cool while the back will get excessively hot; if left on long enough it could cause burns on someone, especially the elderly or those with thin skin. There is currently no recall or info from ford on the issue.

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.

The cooled seat function on the 2015 is a very poor design and it causes extreme heat to the back of the seat while the bottom of the seat somewhat cools. I feel this is a fire danger to anything in the seat back pocket.

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…

The truck has malfunctioning climate controlled-massaging seats. The climate control does not work on the seats at all. My dealership looked it over today and confirmed that it was not working but then after two service reps could not find the problem they decided that since the truck has the massaging feature that the climate control must be disabled and will not work! I accepted this answer for a while and then…

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.

Air cooled bucket seatbacks do not cool but instead dangerously overheat. Problem is particularly bad in rear seatback pockets when cooling function is activated. Infrared temperature measurements have been documented in you tube videos.

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
