Just a minor issue I have had since nearly new. When I first start the car the drivers seat cooling is intermittently turned on about 4 notches automatically. Is this something that others have. I just have to unset it each time. May be hard to replicate at the dealer.

Yeah Troy, I am pretty sure that is the way it should be. Mine has got a glitch for Ford to check sometime.

Just take footage of it Peter, then they don't need to replicate it. This 'could not replicate' business is so frustrating when the issue is intermittent.

I know the US models when remote started will turn them on if the car is hot and its trying to cool it all down for you, could be something similar they added to the 2018's.

Id call the service depot or check the owners manual

Thanks Hellman. The owners manual is very brief on the topic and doesn't shed any light. I imagine it is a software glitch because it only does it to the drivers seat and only intermittently. My car is going to the dealer next Monday for warranty paint work so I will ask them to have a look. I will take up GT 550's suggestion of a video at start up time.

My 2019 does it too. Not everytime but occasionally I’ll jump in and when I start the car it’ll go drivers seat on full aircon even though I’ve never engaged the seat cooling since owning the car.

Mine is going in tomorrow for paint warranty work and I will be asking about this issue. Will let you know.

Sounds good, very keen to hear what they say. I’ll also try and get a recording of it.

Hi Peter did you get this issue sorted as my 2019 is doing the same thing,it seems pretty random when it does it.

Hi Troy. Yes random is the word. I asked the dealer about it when I recently had the car in for some warranty paintwork but they didn't get around to looking at it and it was around closing time when I was picking it up. They said they had not come across the issue. I left it at that and said they can have a look next time it's in. I have noticed other electronic random glitches but none that recur like this one.

I’ve noticed this issue also... will be asking the dealer....
Hey A. If you get it sorted please let us know what the fix is. Mine continues to do this on a random basis. Never did have it looked at.
