Electric Seat Malfunction in 2023 Seat Tarraco Raises Concerns: Seeking Advice and Experiences

Electric seats malfunction

Fault stored

Hey fellow car enthusiasts, I’m dealing with a predicament here with my 2023 Seat Tarraco, gas engine, approx 144,882 KM on the clock. I've got this weird issue where electric seats ain't working right and my car's diagnostic system has flagged a 'Fault Stored' message. I suspect it might have something to do with the electric seat's function limit. Last time I had to see the mechanic, it turned out to be a nightmare, so I'm a bit anxious. Hoping someone here might have experienced something similar and can share their stories or advice. Did your mechanic sort it out okay? Much appreciated!

Hey, I had a similar run-in with my 2020 Seat Ateca. My electronic adjustment for the seats and mirrors was acting wonky, showing the same 'Fault Stored' message. Like you, I worked it up in my mind thinking it was something drastic. Fortunately, the issue was more straightforward than I’d feared, it was a defective cable connection rather than a significant electrical failure. My mechanic found and resolved the matter by replacing some damaged wires and reconnecting a loose plug in the electronic system. Took a bit of time for them to diagnose and sort through all the wiring, but after that, everything was back to normal. It's certainly bothersome when it happens, but it's not usually a serious issue per se; just a bit of a nuisance is all. Hope that helps, cheers!

Hey there! Wow, sounds a lot like the mysterious saga I've had with my own Tarraco recently. Your experience,, sounds eerily similar - it's definitely eased my mind a lot more than what I was imagining. By the way, do you happen to recall roughly how much that whole wire replacement and troubleshooting ordeal cost you? And since the fix, have you bumped into any more problems related to this matter or has everything been smooth sailing? Thanks a ton!

Hey there! Ah, the good old fun journey of sorting out car issues, right? So, you're curious about how much the whole shebang cost me? Well, here's your number - it was 95.00 Euro flat and trust me, it's worth every penny to get the thorn out of your side. They fixed the defective cable and gave the plug a reconnect. Considering it cleared up my whole 'Fault Stored' nightmare, I'd say it's a fair deal! As for any other problems? Nah, I've been sailing pretty smoothly since the mechanic got his hands on my wheels. The electric seat hasn't been acting up anymore, the functional limitation was dealt with, fixed, and they've been gliding like a swan ever since! Bottom line, don't stress too much! Once you get this all sorted out you'll be cruising just like old times. Good luck!

Hey there! Thank you so much for your insights and for letting me peek into your car troubles saga. It's been really comforting to read your feedback. Trust me, it's taking a weight off my shoulders to know that it's not something horrible! 95.00 Euro doesn't sound bad if it means a solid fix for my car's problem, and it's reassuring to know you've had no recurring issues post-fix. I'll just gather my wits and go visit the mechanic rather than brooding on it. Fingers crossed for a smooth sail! Thanks again, guys, and happy motoring!
