What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the driver's side front seat warmer failed to function when activated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the seat heater module, the heated seat element back and cushion needed to be replaced. The technician also stated that there was evidence of a small thermal event in the heating pad which caused it to fail.
In a parking space as the seat was being adjusted up using the power up/down button, the seat made a popping noise. Upon inspection I found the metal bar that attaches to the seat from the motor had split at the point where the metal ring is attached to the seat. Again the metal actually was fatigued enough to break when the seat was being adjusted. This seat is not adjusted often and I feel this to be a safety issue that should be addressed as I am not the only one to have this problem.
