My drivers side seat heater stopped working. I click the button, the light comes on, and then shuts right back off. I've tried turning the car on and back off and it still does the same thing.

Takata recall. One tire has already been replaced at the owners expense in February 2019.. it was defective at the time of purchase and taken back to the dealership for replacement before the warranty expired. The other problem was electrical, the driver seat wasn't heating and the infotainment center rear camera was blurring causing a unsafe driving condition.. the dashboard was clicking out for a second while driving on a city street.
