Front Seat Heaters

[brknhal0]

Hey All,

I have brought my 2015 Tahoe in twice because the front seats don't get that warm regardless of the lo-med-hi setting selected. I can easily wear a pair of gym shorts and leave it on high. The first time I brought it in they told me that some of the heaters were not working and swapped them out for new ones. Luckily, I have the extended warranty so it cost me a $50 deductible.

A friend of mine has the 2015 Silverado and stated that he only runs them on high for a few minutes and then has to run the to the low setting because they get too hot on high.

Before I bring it back in, can anyone chime in with similair counts on this? Maybe someone has a 2015 Tahoe where the seats actually work correctly and can explain what they experience?

Thanks for any input!

I also have a 2015 Tahoe and my seats do not get very warm. I can run them on high all the time if i wanted to. I never took it in because it was out of warranty about 6 months after I bought it. They work but my wifes Toyota will burn your butt if you leave it on high for very long. Maybe it's a 2015 new model issue that they resolved in the later models. I'm curious what others have to say.

I am taking it back in today to have them look at it again. I have an extended warranty so will hopefully get them to fix it right.

One would think the amount of heat given off is subjective as some are more tolerable of heat then others. I wonder if this could be measured with an infrared heat gun?

I have a 2016 Tahoe. This is the 5th vehicle I’ve had with heated seats. These seats are terrible. Only get warm on fairly warm days. And forget them being warm when using remote start. Just wasting gas, vehicle doesn’t even get warm.

just talked to my son who just got a 16 Yukon and says not as warm as older ones

Same with my 13 Tahoe. My 16 Sierra did not get close to how warm these get.

I bought a used 2015 Yukon and dealer told me it was how they are.
I took the seat apart myself and put a new heater element in and now they work fine. Takes a long time for me too need to turn them down, but they do end up pretty hot over a bit of time...

Dealer was an as**())&^%

Really? I live in the NE and after remote start my yukon is always warm and after about 10 minutes on high my seats get unbearably warm.

Must be the **'s! Thanks for the replies all!

Having same issue on my 16 LTZ. I have an extended warranty as well. OP did your issue ever get resolved?

 

[Avalanchediver]

I took it into my own hands. I ordered a heating element and took the seat out and installed it myself. The dealer was FOS. I had a faulty element. Works normally now. Very much the same as my 2007. Based on that if you can tell if they are working they are not.
It was an easy project. Took a total of about an hour.

 

[Shawn1112]

Thanks for the reply. I will give the dealer a shot first. If they are no help, then will be asking you for more info on the DIY fix.

I've got a 2015 Yukon Denali. Can anyone tell me what the part numbers are for both front seats? I need the *** heaters for driver and passenger, as well as the back heaters for driver and passenger. VIN: 1gks2ckj9fr506803

Appreciate it.

Not sure but I think I found them on gmpartsdirect.com

I have a 2015 Tahoe LTZ I bought used a few months ago. Clearly it is out of warranty but I have had it to the dealer FOUR times and even contacted Chevrolet. They did replace the heat module on driver side but still barely gets warm on high even after 30 minutes. Dealer/ Chevrolet say they "work as designed". All my other GMC and my husband's GMC and Chevys, including a 2015 seats got really hot. So, nothing the dealer or Chevy will do. My question is, can you purchase NON GMC part and replace what is in this vehicle to make the seats get hot ? If I have on a jacket, I can't feel one iota of heat. VERY frustrating as I paid a nice chunk of change. p.s. My husband's 2016 Silverado gets super hot. The day I drove it, it was over 100 degrees and I had the seats on. They were hot, wasn't thinking about the outside temp. Live and learn.

Do a Google search "2015 Chevy Tahoe seats not heating properly". There are two big truck forums this one and the other one that should pop up with your search and probably other discussions related to this issue. This has been discussed before and I think the fix was replacing the heating elements in the seats and I am pretty sure they used the GM elements. Check Rockauto and Ebay as Dealers sell on eBay. Better prices than your local Dealer and usually free shipping, no tax. There are YouTubes that show how to replace them. Good luck. By the way, they are not working as designed.

Mine on high will cook you. On low they just take the chill off the seat.
