Default Seat Heater won't Turn off!

it's super hot over here in houston, so of course the leather seats will be hot.

But driving, it seems like my seat heaters are on even when the switch is off!

I confirmed this by driving at night from my gf's house, and it burns my back even at night.

Has anyone else had this problem, besides me?

Im in houston too. Im sorry to hear about ur seat, but its been extremely hot here. I have cloth seats, but I do know how hot leather seats can get though...Make sure its actually the heater and not the heat(sun).

Houston native here, and I also noticed the heat melting my *** in the leather seats lately. I'm always looking down at my buttons to make sure the heater's not turned on.

Only 5 more months then our 70 degree winter kicks in.

The only thing I don't like about the Z is how hot the leather seats get in the Summer.
I too find myself checking to if the seat heater switch is on.

Heck, I live in the Silicon Valley but originally form Hawaii. And this place is no where close to being as hot/ humid as Hawaii. I'm still burning up!

I guess we can thank the mid-engine design for our hot "okole"

Not sure how hot it's been in Hawaii, but we've had 96+ temps (feels like over 105 with humidity) since the middle of May. Crazy, and I'm hatin' it.

You guys are right. I double checked and the seat does cool down some after I stop sitting in it. So it shouldn't be the heater. These leather seats with these heat coils retain heat so well; especially my body heat. My back was wet with sweat during the day.

You guys in the "Hot" area should convert your seat heater to a seat cooler. This is one of the Nissan options.

You got me...for a moment there. I was almost going to Nissan's website to see if I could order one. (Couldn't figure out why they would put seat heaters in cars sold in Hawaii.)
