Driver side seat heater randomly comes on and goes off. Majority of the time the heater stays on constantly and becomes uncomfortable. This happens more especially in wet conditions and when you attempt to turn the heated seat off, the controls won't work. This issue happens when the SUV is started, continues while idling and while driving. Some days it is hours before it will go off. Other days it will not go off. The scary thing is you can hear the dashboard clicking when the heater turns on and off, constantly cycling though high to low, back of seat to bottom of the seat. Adjusting the seat in any way does not help. I think this is a concern due to the fact that it turns off and on and you can hear it cycle through. It's also a major concern because the heat stays on without any way to turn it off. This started a week after I purchased this vehicle and has continued since October 2016.

While driving the driver side heated seats ingauge by themselves and come on every time we use the vehicle. We have tried turning them back off, but they come right back on and will cycle up and down a few times then stay in the high position. I thought at first that my husband was accidentally turning them on but he wasn't. it does it all the time. There is no ryhme or reason to it. Its very distracting trying to turn them off over & over again. I could see where it could be a safety issue. I research end on the internet and have seen hundreds of post on the same issue. None of them helped with a souloutin to the problem. I put my VIN # in to see if their were any recalls on this issue. And couldn't find one. My question is why? with as many complaints as there are online. Not sure if they were not complaining here about it but now at least I have. It doesn't matter whose driving it, wheater isn't a factor either. In town or highway makes no difference help please
