I still have about 2 month before I have to take her back for her first check up. The back of the seat heating is really annoying!! Hope it's a quick fix!
Hope to hear from someone that has had it checked out and what Lexus has to say!

I have not yet. I am not exactly sure how to reproduce it, it is not consistent enough to take the time to deal with the dealership. If something consistent comes up then I will, but up to this point it has been random.

Happened to me as well. It got pretty hot to the point that my back was sweating. Hope Lexus will have a fix for this. It would be annoying to not be able to use this feature. I go in for my first check up soon. Keep yall posted on what they say

No solution to the seat back lack of ventilation
I took mine in....they said it was working fine........BUT, they had it back there for over an hour, and when they brought it back up, they had the AC blowing at full blast, and no telling how long it had been cranked up on high before they called me - it seems like the only way the ventilation on the back of the seats works is if the AC is on the highest setting - lame. But once again, under "normal circumstances" (car is hot after sitting out in the sun for a few hours) the seat backs DO NOT cool off. The dealership acted as if I was nuts.

I just used the seat vents on a 400 mile trip, and found the cold air applied to my tuckas very refreshing. I even skipped my usual visit to the FroYo. I felt no heat or other discomfort at all, and I would think that the reported problem is surely not universal. We shall see when those experiencing it have their dealers check it out.

That observation may be useful. My RC non-F-Sport with ventilated seats has no such heating problem. Still, we don't want to generalize from insufficient data, but my understanding is that the seats in the F-Sports are different from those in the other versions, (or "different than," as they say on TV), so maybe it's something unique to the F-Sport seats.
