Mine did this once - I reset the car by disconnecting the battery for a while - That fixed it.

Heated and cooled seats dont use an element, they use a special unit which depending on the voltage polarity either blows out hot or cold air. You will have 2 in your seat, one underneath and one in the back. It uses a Peltier circuit. There isnt any element......I'd check obvious things like fuses first and then pull the plastic back off the seat to have a look behind it as you can see one of the units there. Are both seats affected or just one of them? The units have little fans that run in them which you can hear if you listen carefully

I've got a 2012 (facelift) 3.0 XF-S - just turned 100k on mileage and cant fault its reliability. Only wear and tear items, tyres, brake pads and discs and one stop\start battery replacement but that only cost £30 from internet shop and not the £300 Jag dealer wanted!! Its a great car but as with all things like this, best to get an independent check done on it to make sure there isnt anything nasty lurking to catch you out.

I've got exactly the same thing on my 2012 xfs - Jag engineers denied anything wrong with it but its as plain as day its not right. I've been waiting for about 18 months for it to materialise into an obvious fault so I can get it sorted. My feeling is its a bush or ball joint that isnt being picked up as faulty by anyone. I've had loads of new tyres over the 3.5 years of owning so I dont think they are always the cause of this issue.
