GS F heated seats

[Matthews]

Does anyone else find their GS F heated seats barely get above lukewarm? The seats in my 2017 car are pathetic, the dealer, who I am quickly losing faith in, said they were working according to specification which should be 96 degrees Fahrenheit on the hottest setting (not auto), this is 2 degrees below body temperature. Only the area below my thighs gets warm and the back rest remains unchanged.

I must admit the RCF heated seats are rubbish, I can feel they are on but only barely and can’t imagine using them on any other setting than Max.  Wife has a Range Rover and the seats are the best I’ve ever used.

Heated steering wheel is ok though.

The GSF's heated seats are terrible.  Plenty of comments around on Owner's Clubs how bad they are:

I thought the back rest heating on my RCF wasn't working, but the dealer confirmed it was Ok. The seat part is nice and warm though, especially when wearing light running shorts

Running??? 

I’ll take your word for it.

Must be a common trait. My gsf seats don't get anywhere near as hot as my daughters Kia Venga on its low setting! The air con feature isn't great either.

Yea, seems Lexus can’t do everything well!  Shame as they must realise they aren’t very good.  Was in a UX recently and the seats weren’t much better….

Huh. I was convinced only the bottom seat was supported because I don't feel a thing from the back.

The heating & ventilation on my GS4 is certainly a mark up from my GS3 so they were getting better.

The heaters on my GSF aren't too powerful either. I can happily leave them on maximum all journey - if I tried that on my Boxster, i'd boil!
