Anyone have a problem with there cooling seats? Seems like mine barely work at all. My brother had a 4th gen with the cooled seats and they worked Way way better. Even on high I dont barely any cooling
 
Since they are just vented seats and pull from cabin air, I think that the lacking A/C may contribute to them not working very well. I can feel the air, but it's not always very cool.

Mine seem to do a Good Job on High Setting and just Ok on Medium but on Low, I really don't notice much of anything ..

Which fan speed are you all having problems with ?
 
All 3 speeds, I feel a tiny bit of air on high and that’s about it. My brother has a fourth gen and on high it feels like a leaf blower

I'd have to agree; same with mine. I have to run it on the high setting just to be able to feel it.
 
I never not run mine on high... breeze could be a smidge stronger but you can certainly feel the difference when the AC is actually cooling.
 
I only use mine on high and it works great, can actually feel cold air on my @$$ and blowing up the back ouf my shirt. Now I will admit, it does seam to give itself a break occasionally, I'm assuming to prevent overheating of the fan, kind of like heated sest on high
 
I was stoked about this option but so far I've found it pretty lackluster. AC needs to be blowing hard for it to do anything it seems.

This. I found it works best when the AC is actually performing well (which is under like 85 degrees ambient temp). When working right it feels like you sat in a cold puddle which is a bit unsettling but at least it's cold like it's supposed to be when the leather's been baking in the sun. I bet if FCA ever resolves the AC issue (@RamCares - I hope y'all note it's not just the diesels with this problem) the vented seats will work way better.

Same here. I only run it on high setting, and after about 10 minutes of runtime I feel only minor changes in the temp in that area. I'm not sure if it's my body adjusting to the temp but it seems to almost go away after that initial 10 min run. It sure does make some noise too. I almost didn't buy my truck as both me and my wife were scrounging around trying to figure out what the static radio station noise was coming from. I had turned everything in the truck pretty much and finally realized it was the vented seats' air or fan noise.
 
We really like our vented seats. They work really great. Maybe you have a restriction somewhere keeping the air flow from escaping.
