When you turn on the heated seats or heated steering wheel, your interior and exterior lights flicker or pulse. You've reported this to the dealership and Chevrolet multiple times, and while Chevy acknowledged it's a known issue, they say they don't currently have a fix and claim the vehicle is safe. You're concerned the feature is drawing too much electrical power and could pose a fire risk. The fix will likely require Chevrolet to develop and release a software update or rewire the heated seat/steering wheel electrical circuit to prevent the power draw issue.

Fixing this likely involves diagnosing the electrical system's power distribution between the heated seat circuit and headlight circuit to prevent the interference.
