Default Heated/Cooled Seats Malfunctioning??

In addition to the nav screen on my car going out (but I found someone who will fix it), Im wondering are the heated/cooled seats also malfunctioning? Maybe its just in my head (or butt) but it seems the drivers seat is warmer than usual, but the heat/cool dial is off.

Can the heated/cooled seats malfunction???

Given that they are electronic I would say yes it is possible for them to malfunction, but the probability of it I'd imagine would be quite low

Too much expectation. The seats are ventilated, not cooled.

As mentioned above.. it circulates cabin air through your seat.. it does not cool the air.. windows up and ac on and it should be cool air going through there
