L460 Range Rover Heated Steering Wheel Fault, Turns Off After 20 Minutes and Won't Turn Back On (For googling purposes).

It may be that not many other people have it on as much as me, but just because you don't see it as a fault it doesn't mean it isn't one!

You’ll need to pickup with LR then. If they aren’t saying it’s a fault, you aren’t going to get very far…particularly if they’ve already changed the steering wheel once and it’s the same. |

No personal experience of this, but I see that if one goes into Eco Mode that automatically switches the heated wheel off, might the car be putting itself into Eco Mode (assuming you have not selected that mode) e.g. due to a software fault?

Thank you for the helpful suggestion, I don't think it is that though as it happens on the motorway when I haven't changed anything and I haven't seen any change of mode flash up or anything.
It's not the same, it worked properly for a few weeks and now is broken again, as I said, presumably it is some design fault with the thermostat, as there are other people saying they're having this problem in the link I posted above so I'm not the only one. It was also just one of the girls on the service desk saying she thought that's how it's meant to be when she clearly has no idea! When I pushed them last time they finally admitted it was a fault and the same will happen again. They can't deny that it being a "one use" heating wheel is not the way it is intended to operate. |
