I smelled a burning smell when turning on seat heater. Seat heater no longer provides heat, but indicator switch light up as if heater should be on. The burning could have led to fire in passenger compartment of vehicle. I have not taken the vehicle in to have this serviced. I inspected the wiring harness and the -€œM-€ pin is clearly burnt (I have photos). There were no warning lights. I can press switch to turn on seat heater and the lights turn on as if the seat heater were working, but no heat.

Seat heater and cooler no longer working. Problem looks like the module burned the connector. Plastic female end is burnt black and the plastic is melted. Concerned that this is a fire safety issue

The heated and air conditioned seats stopped working although the dash indicator shows that it is on. A search of the internet shows that it is a very common problem on 2015-2016 Mustang models. The connector under the passenger seat shows a severely burned connection as indicated in the attached photo. This appears to be a very serious and potentially dangerous problem that needs to be addressed via a recall.

Heated and cooled seats stopped working. I checked some forums and found out it was a very common problem. This pin for the ground on the wire assembly that controls the seat is the only one, and it is common for it to completely burn out as seen in the picture. As it's in the cabin, underneath the passenger seat, it is very dangerous for it to be burning this way.

All upper and lower control arms have had to be replaced on front of car due to squeaking and popping noises coming from them. Also heated and cooled seats went out due to plug shorting out.

I began to smell something burning from inside my car while I was driving. After further investigation I discovered the burning smell was coming from the passenger seat when the seat heater was on. I unplugged the wiring harness to find that a pin was burning and melting the plastic.
