Cooled seats
My only complaint in the new car, is the cooled seats suck, barely feel anything. Jump in my 14 SRT JEEP you feel them immediately.
I love the car all the same..

Try directing the A/C not only towards your upper body, but also to the floor. The fans in the seat will pull the cooled air from the floor up through the seat. See if that helps.

The are VENTILATED seats, not to be confused with cooled, or air-conditioned seats. Same as in my former Chrysler 200.

The ventilated seats in mine SUCK ***! I made sure to get them, but they don't do anything. I turned them on to full power and put a piece of paper on the seat and it just sat flat on the seat without moving. They have to be better than this, I'm planning on asking the dealer the next time I'm there. Really disappointing.

Having air move through the seat cushion is better than having no air move through the seats. The cooler the air gets in the car the more it cools off the seat.
I find ceramic tinted windows to be far more effective than the seat ventilation systems.

They are ventilated seats....not cooled seats. There is no cold air system for the seats. Whatever the temperature of the air is around the seat is what temperature air ventilates the seats.
