Had a similar problem with a Volvo. It was the "element" or the wires
of the heater in the seat. They had worn through and shorted - bypassed
a resistor or something. This only happened well into 175K mi - odd
that it would happen on a new car - if that is the problem. It was a
fire hazard so make sure they fix it!

LOL, yeah, you're right! Kind of a lame response. I guess I was
cruising through the list and my reaction was that there might not be
a lot of experience with the heated seats as yet. In my neck of the
woods (Minnesota) I didn't notice very many new style Accords until
late spring / early summer. So my point was simply that until many of
us get through some cold weather, he won't have much of a read on
whether there are some common heated seat problems.

for those of you who haven't had the problem, I don't require a reply. Maybe
for some of you it hasn't been cold enough this winter. I don't honestly
care.
It was cold enough last winter, and I got the car in fall 2002. It was a
2003 model. I appreciate the comment on the Volvo problem. My issue sounds
very similar. No need to increase the thread if you haven't had the problem.
I guess some people still do have too much time on there hands..
