ventilated seats backs are very warm?

[jochet]

This is a strange one, our 07 X5 4.8 with comfort/ventilated seats have been getting very warm/hot along the seat backs. The sides of the seat near the door, are hot. This happens while the AC is cranked up and with the cool air button pushed for the ventilated seats are on. This first happend on the passenger seat, now its both seats; has anyone else had this problem? I told my dealer about this when the car was in for last service but they found nothing?


What to do, we love the car, but its to hot to drive, especially in Florida during the summer.

odd, my wife has been complaining about this for awhile and I have been blowing her off thinking she was nuts. Passenger seat only

+1 Yeah. I felt this too. It's not all the time. But I haven't figured out when and why this is happening. I have played with the controls (where the red is on the seat bottom or the back). Really wish I knew what the red meant!
