Consumer Description

WHEN ENGAGING THE FRONT SEAT HEATERS, THE SEATS HEAT UP TO 107 DEGREES. TWICE I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD, AND BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATING BEHAVIOR. THE SEATS BECOME SO HOT YOU CANNOT SIT ON THEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF A YOUNG CHILD/INFANT WERE INVOLVED. *TR
