Lousy Seat Heaters
Lousy Seat Heaters
As much as I love my GS300 AWD, I hate its stupid slow seat heaters that do not do much to warm my butt to lukewarm during cold mornings. The temp is set to high and after 30 min, its still lukewarm and feels worthless. No point in these lazy seat heaters! My RX330 is tons better and so is the Audi A8l, Nissan Maxima, Jeep Cherokee, etc. ANyone else feel this way?

Errrr, how is it you have an 07 GS300? I thought 07's were now GS350's or 430's or 450's? Anyway, I'm confused.... but on to your point on the heaters - mine work crazy well. Too good, in fact, on the heat setting. I wish the cool function was "cooler" most times. Though I live in FLA... if I was in MI like you I may find the heaters weak for my liking some ice cold mornings...

Ditto from KC, my seat heaters work great... especially in the cold. You should go to the dealership and drive another GS300 to compare yours with and if they're way off ask the dealer to make it right.
BTW, if you want lousy seat heaters try the Infiniti G35. They were awful.

Hmm, maybe I should def take it to the dealership. I will try the passenger seat heater and see what happens. I have to change my sig to 2006 Lexus GS300 AWD. Sorry for the confusion. THanks!

Rex, was there someone sitting in the passenger seat when you check the heater? It would not surprise me if there was a sensor for weight on seat to turn on the heater.
