My drivers side heated seat began to get warmer than usual when i would use it. It would become so warm that i would have to turn it off because it was getting too hot and i was afraid that it would burn me. After a few weeks of this happening the seat heater stopped functioning properly all together. I would press the heated seat button and it would illuminate for a few seconds (maybe 2-3) and then shut off on its…

My 2011 ford fusion (purchased in the fall of 2010) has a recent issue with the heated seats. They are getting so hot that it is burning me. I have to turn them off at that point. I have loved the heated seats the whole time i have had the car. It seems like this should be a safety issue. It just started happening about a month ago.

Needs to be recalled for this issue. I've heard it's common on the…

2011 ford fusion head restraint tilts too far forward causing cramping and pain in the neck because the restraint pushed the head too far forward. I have adjusted the seat and headrest various ways but can not get comfortable. My current solution is to tilt the seat back about five notches too far back and place a pillow between the shoulders so the headrest is an inch or so behind the head. Not the best solution,…

I changed the headrests on the first long trip we took. My friend in the passenger seat changed hers around while i was driving -- it was forcing her head forward uncomfortably. As soon as i stopped for gas, i changed mine around, as well. I am not going to change them back and it is a shame -- i am left without support should a crash occur. This is nuts. What the heck were the engineers thinking? I need to get…
