Touareg :: Folding Down Rear Seats Will Cause Damage?

Just wondering if the rest of you have noticed that when you fold down the rear seats (especially for long periods of time) that indentations from the underlying metal posts and brackets form in the leather seats. I have the Nappa leather interior.

Wouldn't this ruin the seats over a short period?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rear Defrost And Heating Seats

I just bought a 2012 Elantra GL, I'm very proud of it!

My car is equipped with a remote starter, and I'm wondering if it is possible to set the rear defrost and the heating seats in order to having them activated when the car starts? I can not find any answers about that in the owner's manual or the remote starter manual. For now I have to activate these functions manually when I enter in the car. It would be great having side mirrors and rear glass defrosted before entering in the car.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rear Heated Seats Don't Turn Off Automatically?

So I've wanted to post this here for awhile now but kept forgetting. I assume this is how all the Elantras are but I wanted to know for sure. So basically when people in the back seats turn on their seat warmers, and the car gets turned off. They turn back on automatically when the car is turned on. I guess because it's a push button and the button is still engaged when car is turned on again. What a dumb design! I do try and remind my passengers to kindly turn them off, but they often times forget, including myself. I'm just afraid the seat warmers are gonna wear out quicker if they get left on and I don't realize till a certain amount of time later. So is the case for everyone? Just don't understand the design behind it when the front seats turn off automatically but not the back. Wish there was a way to change this.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Any Way To Lower Back Seats From Inside Of Cab?

I was rear-ended this morning, and can't get into my trunk. Is there anyway to lower the seats from the inside of the cab to get my stuff out? It will probably be at least a week before it gets repaired, and I don't want to have to tie down my trunk.

I am impressed on how my vehicle handled the accident. It doesn't look bad, and I didn't feel much, but it tore up the whole rear end. At least $5k damage.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Heated Seats Won't Work Until Car Driven For A Bit

I noticed if it's around -30c heated seats won't work until car has been driven for a bit. Sometimes only 1 seat can be heated at a time. Usually lights in buttons flicker. Other owners in cold weather want to add to this?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Driver Side Heated Seats Not Working

I am having a problem with my driver's side heated seats on my 2011 Elantra. When I press the button to turn on the heated seats, the lights on the button turn on for about 1 second, and then turn off. The passenger side and back seats are all heating properly...just for some reason my driver's heated seats don't turn on. I stuck my hand under the seat and it feels like everything is connected. Any reason why the lights on the heated seat button turn on for about 1 second, and then turn off?

Toyota - Highlander :: 2010 - Rattle Type Of Noise Coming From The Rear (seats)

So, I have a new neighbor that owns a 2010 Toyota Highlander (out of warranty). Recently, the vehicle has had a on and off "rattle" type of sound that comes from the rear of the vehicle. He has tried to get it into the dealership to take a look, but since it comes and goes, it's hard to duplicate it at times.

Anyway, we noticed that if you put the seats down (60/40 split) then push them up with some force the "rattle" stops for awhile. So, we are thinking that this sound is coming from the rear seats. What to check? Could it not be "latching" properly? It seems solid when you sit in it and rock, or if you push/pull on them.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: AC Blowing Out Of Vent Is Cold But Rear Passenger Seats Warm

So last couple days over the 4th, the heat was over 95.

AC Blowing out of the vent is cold but the rear seats passenger feels warm.

Even with the blower on the higher and temp on the lowest 65 (or lowest setting).

I put my hand towards the rear seat and I feel warm air. Near the vents are cool but its like the AC can't keep up with the heat ?

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Rear Seat Back Folding Ratchet Not Working

My 2001 Santa Fe has developed a failure in the rear seat back folding ratchet. I recently had my rear seats folded flat and when I came to restore them to normal use I found that the seat back ratchet would not engage.

I have taken the left hand (60%) seat out of the car and can clearly see that the cogs do not come together - well they almost do, but not enough to hold the back in position. How this can be adjusted?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rear End Hop When Hitting Bumps?

I have a 2011 Elantra GLS automatic and have experienced rear end hop when hitting bumps, potholes, manhole covers, etc. It is quite disturbing to feel the read end slide sideways especially at highway speeds. Today I noticed similar feeling when I drove on snow covered roads for first time. I took it in to dealer who agreed it was a concern when he drove it, but couldn't find anything out of spec.
