When I turn my ventilated seats to level 3 I can feel a vibration coming from the fan they use. It’s very annoying. Mainly in my middle back area.
Can anyone confirm if this is normal?
Both my driver and passenger sides have the vibration.

It's a feature. In the fine print, it's called "Ford Performance Vibrator". :p

Can't say I've noticed it, but I do hear it running.

No vibration with mine. But I usually keep it to two once I cool down just for the noise of the fan

I don't feel anything on my mine, but I rarely use '3' because it is so loud.

Agreed, 3 is way too loud. I always reduce to 2.

It's not really a seat problem.

The "vibration" is most likely from your clothes/body pressed up against the ventilation. I have experience it before with wet clothes.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’ll be taking my truck in for service on this issue. 500 miles on the odometer.
