Cool, keep us posted. I have the same condition, and I'll be taking mine in for its first oil change in a few weeks. I plan to have them look at it then. Let me know how your experience goes.

 

I took mine to the dealer last week. They were able to reproduce the passenger side problem since its not as subjective as the weak driver's seat. They tested out a few other in stock cars and they all had the issue.
The dealer put in a call to Infiniti tech and was told that they are aware of the issue. They are working on a fix and are planning on putting out a service bulletin. They told the dealer not to do anything until they put out the bulletin.

Unfortunately - no time estimate on that. The dealer said sometimes it's a couple weeks, other times, it's a couple months. So - on the bright side - maybe our heated seats will be fixed for July. ;-)

BTW - If you're curious, this is from Infiniti of Norwood, in Massachusetts. They were very helpful and will try and keep me posted.

If any of you have different experiences, please post it in this thread. Thanks! Jeff

 

they seem to work well.. but are slow coming up to temp. will know more this week as its cold out big time

 

Did the dealer pursue the driver's side seat issue, or just the passenger's seat?

 

The passeneger seat heats lower lumber area very hot!. The driver seat does not do this at all. I would sat driver seat is half the performance than the passeneger seat.

 

The heated seats in our G35x turn on quickly, and get really warm (but not burning warm, just right). I really like them, they're great when its below zero Celsius up here in Ontario.

 

I just got my car back from the dealer w/the same issue (peninsula infiniti in the bay area). I got the same story as you. Infiniti is aware of the problem & should have a fix for it soon. The service rep told me that they just had a couple more cars in with the same issue.

I actually also have a more serious issue that I'll post separately having to do with engine hesitation under certain acceleration conditions--also previously posted about elsewhere.

I was also told by service that infiniti is working on a heated seats service bulletin.

 

Has anyone heard anything more about when that service bulletin will be out? Or has anyone actually gotten this fixed by the dealer already? Thanks!

 

After testing it out in the colder weather these past few weeks, I'll say that my seats warm up to get at least as hot as they did in my Z and in my wifes FX. It *seems* that they take longer to initially warm up however. The final temp on high though is pretty hot, usually even on the coldest mornings by the time it comes up to temp I end up turning it down to low or off completely.

 

Mine work well in High or Low position

 

My car is at Infiniti right now doing its first service, and i told the service lady about the problem. I got my car back and she told me in 3-4 weeks the bulletin should be up about this matter.

 

Actually, based on the scientific G35Driver.com poll, it's 39.77% that don't work well... not 95%.

 

Remember that this very scientific G35Driver.com poll was tainted by owners of the first generation G sedan and as such the results are meaningless. Shane pointed out the problem on December 6th.

 

Ahhhhh.

Ok.... rewind.... delete..... <<<<<<
