Time to Vent on the Ventilated Seats! - Page 4

CalgaryZL1 · 08-16-2023, 12:42 PM

It was 95 yesterday here up north and I did notice my cooled seats were not as efficient as say the 78° days, usually I have to turn them down because my ass starts to freeze but not yesterday

On the days I need my ventilated seats, they're worthless...even when the top is up, AC is cranked and only floor vents are open. I know they work because I've tested them on days that I don't need them. They work great on those days!

Has anyone had any issues with their ventilated seats? The past month or so, when I put on the vented option, it only gets hot, if I go to heated option it gets even hotter. I'd say 10% of the time it works, and you can tell even if it's 115 out, can feel that breeze. It's going in tomorrow to get looked at, was just curious if anyone else had this issue.

It only works if you have cold air blowing through the car and the windows are up otherwise you won’t even feel it

I disagree, it's been 120 out, I get in the car all sweaty, turn it on, and normally can instantly feel it. If you're sweating and there's airflow you'll feel it, they are ventilated, not cooled, /shrug
Hopefully I'll find out today. Sometimes it works, but gotta keep turning the car off and on and keep trying.

I agree and I would say the Chevy actually has some of the better ventilated seats that I can recall. Also, ventilated and cooled are two different things... and I know it is quite common to say heated/cooled seats, but most are ventilated only (if they even have that).

I had ventilated seats in my Blazer and would have to turn down to the lowest setting or even turn it off in the mornings because it was a bit chilly.

Did anyone else have this issue? I live in south Louisiana and it is so HOT right now but I feel like I should be feeling a little something cooling my rear.....

My long legs have the seat way back, which I think impacts the ability of the fan under the seat to get cool AC air (I route the AC through the front and lower vents when using the ventilated seats). I have been wondering if it would help to route a temporary duct from the dash vent to underneath the driver's seat during summer months...

Ventilated seats suck, they’re better than nothing but not by much.

Cooled seats are awesome, though.

My warranty has expired so couldn't get them to look at it unfortunately. So gotta figure put how to pull the seats out to inspect them
