A crap load. $400 for the heating elements and then like another $300 in labor to unskin the seat and sow it back together.

 

The driver's side seat bottom heater went out in my SRT6 a little over a
year after I bought the car in Oct. '04. Chyrsler fixed it without issue or
complaint regarding the amount of work necessary to fix the problem.
It did not take very long (2 days for parts, 1 visit to install). And, they did
a very professional job, or so it seems, as I didn't notice any problems
with the seat afterwards.

Just the other day, it was a bit cold here in Atlanta, and I decided to use
the seat heater. The bottom heated up quite nicely, but the seat back did
not. So, it's back to the dealer to re-repair this seat heater. I am glad that
I went ahead and bought the extended Max Care warranty just before
the original warranty expired.

To the person who listened to a whiney service tech, and bought the
whine that this is just too much work.... don't let them push you around.
They are there to do the work, and it doens't really matter to the tech
what work he is doing, as he is getting paid to do it.

Now, I might understand the service manager making this spiel, as
warranty work doesn't pay as well as non-warranty work, but why should
the tech even care. Doesn't he have to be doing something during his
work hours? Why should he care what that work is, so long as he is being
paid? Next time, tell him to grow up and start acting like a responsible
adult and quit whining like a two year old.

What has happened to the work ethic in this country? Doesn't anyone
take pride in their work and abilities any more? Have we, as a society
become "scared" of a challenge? In my position, I have to sign my work,
so I take great care to make sure it is done right. I, too, am just a little
leery about working on new things (and in the tech industry, things do
change very rapidly), but I find the challenge exciting. I might not always
succeed, but I'm in the fight (never have run away from a fight, though
I have been whuped good a few times, and probably should have run ).

Coyote (work, work, work...ah, damn. Back to the drawing board!)

 

I think you will find this in another thread. So a search. I think I read something like $600 per seat. This is the main reason I purchased the Max Care Warranty

 

How much does the Max Care Warranty cost and covers?

 

I think I paid something like $1,400. It covers bumper to bumper for 7-70,000 from date of service.

Search for that topic. Tod can save you $500 over what your local dealer will charge.
