So my heated seat tried to burn a hole in my right butt cheek this morning. It was chilly out

and this was one of the first days that has warranted the use of the heated seat.

Anyone else have a problem with a rogue heating element? Anything I can do to fix it? It was REALLY hot.

Put most of your weight on your L butt cheek. You'll have that gangsta lean when you drive.

I bet there were parts of the seat that was cold

Mine has hot spots too. I'm not sure if I'm right about this but what I think has happened to mine is my fat a$$ snapped a couple of the elements and now all the power is being diverted to the good elements so those are getting extra hot.

If the elements didn't break because of my fat a$$, then I blame Audi for using crappy heating elements that won't even last 4 years.
