Ok.. this is freaking me out, because I've heard about the Ford's recall on similar thing and causing fire...

Why is the left side of the steering wheel.. (right above the "MODE" button) always hot???? sometimes the cruise button side too.. is it because of electronic circuitry??? but that much of heat is being generated???

Am I the only freak that's noticing this?

 

I've noticed it, but haven't really gave it much thought

 

Mine is warm as well when the headlights are on because the lights in the buttons run.

 

So we do have a steering wheel heater...JK, I think.

 

Yeah those buttons get pretty warm.
Also the light in the center/arm-rest console gets really hot!

 

It's the TL's hand warmer feature. Comes standard.

 

thats what happens when light bulbs are on for a while, they heat up a bit

 

I have noticed it also. Just think it will be nice come winter time. Also when the AC is on I can freeze snickers bars in my center console where the change dispencer is. Everyday new options on this car appear.

 

I noticed this, we have a cooler and it's not mentionned in the manual. I let my palm in here and when i take it out there was a lot of condensation on it.

 

haha nice one jersey sport i juss think there is no perfect car lil things like this dont matter to me the tl has so many nice things that make this unnoticable
