So after a lot of visits to the dealer, they finally decided to replace my heating elements for my heated seats, i have another thread about it. Howrver, i am pissed off because i was told that the parts are not being made anymore. The part departments said the computer shows that GM is looking for a vendor to make the part. How true is this? I hope someone can tell me what to do. It is proven that my heated seats dont work cuz the connector was ripped from the element. I could fix it but i.dont have the tools plus i want a car in good condition. I paid full price for a brand new car and when i need GM to replace my part i get this????

We apologize for the frustrations. Can you please provide me with the part number? I will be more than happy in checking the status on this part.

What?! That's stupid. You buy a new car with heated seats and the vendor doesn't exist anymore? What are they using on the newer cars?
