Weather temp does get below 50 degrees. The vehicle has less than 1700 miles on it. Neither driver nor passenger seats work. Yes I know that the lights don't come on and I don't care about that. Nothing worse than getting into a warm car and sitting on a frozen leather seat! Dealer doesn't seem to think there's a problem???

If the vehicle has heated seats, they will also turn on. Section 8-5. I've forwarded this information to the Service Manager but have yet to receive a response. My guess is that he's in the process of checking it out.
