Default Turning on passenger heated seat causes it to move

Is anyone else having this issue? Not sure if it's a "feature" to keep the passenger on their toes but, intermittently, when the passenger heated seat is turned on, the back will go upright. It has happen with a passenger sitting in the seat and when it was empty. I will attach a video of it occuring.

That's freaky. I have got to where I just text videos to my service advisor as things occur because many times I get there and they say they can't replicate the issue.

That is exactly why I got it on video, I hate dealing with that. I'll take it in this week and get back to you guys

I suspect the problem lies with the wiring harness under the seat. Perhaps wires have been caught in the seat runners? Sadly, I would not trust a service mechanic figuring it out without lots of mindless, time wasting, trial and error. Best to take a look yourself.

Maybe they will tell you the ghost wants his seat up when you turn the heat on.
lol.
I would let them deal with it.
The only way LR knows there's a problem at the plant is if we collectively bring these issues to their attention so hopefully they can start building them right the first time.
I know, I know......Thats a lot to ask.

Just when I thought our LR3 & LR4 had some "charming" British electronic features, this tops them all. Although my "HOLD" when stopped feature keeps turning itself back on despite me repeatedly turning it off. And today a map with turning instructions appeared between the speedometer and tachometer guiding me home despite me never touching the navigation screen.

As someone once noted, there is a reason you don't see many British-made TV sets and electronics.

I'll let them have a look, I wouldn't know what I'm looking at unless the issue us a burned wire or something.

I agree, there are just odd thing off with the car. The keyless entry doesn't work consistently when I have anything in the pocket along with the key. On three occasions now the clicking of the turn signals stopped working, which I find hilarious. How is that even an issue? Im not an excellent programmer but you can just tell it's due to poor integration of android auto. When I switch audio sources, it comes back on. And the camera will sometimes say "cameras not available" exactly at the point I need them the most.

There are so many bugs in the Pivi pro, there should be an easier way to report them to LR.

Same here...sometimes I can push the door handle button and it unlocks, sometimes I need to pull out the fob and push the unlock button. No idea what causes this difference in function.

I find the clicking goes off on Andriod Auto if you are executing a command. For example, I request a song to be played via a voice setting. As I do the request, I turn the turn signal on to make a turn. The sound goes off and comes back on once the Andriod Auto has executed my command. The sound is fake and is pumped through your speakers.
