Flashing lights on heated seats switch

Don't bother with the dealer. Most techs don't have leatherworking and upholstery experience & most supervisors are incentivized to take your money, not to deliver excellent customer experiences. They take the easy path and replace part or all of the seat. A few of the smarter/better dealers will farm it out to a local shop, but that doesn't come cheap when you're also paying the dealer's profit.

So take it to an auto upholsterer who does this sort of work for a living. There are plenty of good ones out there and you're not the only customer of theirs with this problem. Find car show or cars and coffee on the weekend (if you're already in snow, just look on facebook and instagram) and talk to the owners who've had custom work done. They've spent thousands on their interiors. Just one seat may be a couple hundred dollars, but it will come out better than the day it rolled off the factory floor, and last longer too.

All these posts are not very re-assuring. My seat warmer just went out and I am going to have to take it in to get it replaced. I am not going to be happy if it comes back like the pictures above. Did anyone get a resolution to any of these seat issues after a replacement?

I just brought by 2015 Genesis in to Hyundai Service because the driver's seat isn't heating at all. They said they need to replace the seat assembly at a cost of $3,000!

If you get a new seat the color is going to be off a bit no matter what. Once you wear it in I bet it will blend.

The real issue is those wrinkles, those won't blend with time. The dealer needs to have an upholsterer come in if they are not capable themselves.

Dealer stated the drivers side seat warmer failed. They are replacing the entire system in the seat.

My 2013 Genesis has same problem. How much was repair at dealer???
