Heated Steering Wheel issue...

Can it’s characteristics be changed with ForScan?

Mine does the same and I hate it as well.
I wish it could be like other cars where it warms up and just stays medium-warm.

I don't have enough extra cold in central Texas to test it out. It does cut back and spears to do so as cabin temp approaches set temp, in my case 71°F. It does seem to stay a little warmer after cutting back if I do not have heater on and am just using seat and wheel heaters.

It's just a bit dumb compared to other vehicles where it heats up to a temperature and stays there.

I'm pretty sure the people happy with the current heated steering would be happier with conventional heated steering in other cars like Toyotas.

I don't know if you meant to sound like a snooty intellectual who knows what's best for others, but you did. This feature is great for some, but not for all. Personally, I like it.

Just me or everyone...

Since I got delivery of my 23 last year my heated steering wheel is operating in a way that doesn't resemble my previous vehicles. When i turn it on the wheel gets very hot very quickly then over the next 5 minutes the heating seems to disappear. Usually you turn on the heat on a steering wheel and it's a gradual warming that appears to remain on until you turn it off. But on my maverick it just seems to go away or at least turn itself down from say a 10 to a 2 after a couple minutes. Anyone else?

Is this a glitch? And is there a fix? Or is this touted by Ford as some sort of "smart heating" or some bull like that?

Anyone know?

My 2024 XLT does the same thing, but it's only hot for less than 1-2 minutes max. I got it replaced under warranty, but the new one is the same. That tells me it's a Ford POS. Heated steering wheels should stay HEATED until I turn it off. I have no issues w the heated seats...yet.
