Hey all! Just bought a 2019 GT2 and seat massagers are listed as an option but I am not finding ANY info on how to operate them... (where's the button???). I'm beginning to think it not be on this car.

If you DO have seat massagers and can help a brother out, please clue me in :)
 
Howdy. Never heard of a massaging function/option on the Stinger. Maybe you are not in the US? Ready to learn something new, aaagain. :P
 
WHERE is the option of Seat Massage shown? If it is not on the "window sticker" it's not on the car. Can you provide a photo of the source of this information?

I still absolutely love this car but I'm gonna have words with CarMax. I've seen other listings that show seat massagers listed as a feature.
 
Looks like a generic listing of features. Why would they have "(s)" after sunroof, as if some Stingers have more than one? And "A/C seat(s), as if some Stingers have one while others have multiples?

Check the fine print under those listed features.
 
No such thing as seat massagers in the Stinger, you have been misled…..Caveat Emptor!

Probably trade-speak for "wallet massager". Another version of "caveat emptor". If someone calls them on it, they can assert that they told you and the fault lies with your ignorance.

Thanks to all for your replies. It was never a big deal, but I DID feel like a dumb ass for believing that. I am going to make sure that corporate CarMax takes "seat massagers" off their list of features for Stingers, and I'm going to make it clear that I'll be checking behind their listings moving forward.
 
Maybe they are calling the lumbar support which can move up and down (rotate the dial on the driver seat) a massager. I guess if you sit there and keep moving it up and down it will massage your back? :rolleyes:
Also, technically, the seats don't have A/C either, they are just ventilated.

While you're technically right, the fan in my seat seems to work overtime cuz Its the best ventilated seat I've ever sat on. its loud enough to sound like a 120mm fan going full tilt, if you know what that sounds like. I had my seat covers replaced under warranty a while back and its been way more powerful since then.
 
Tell Carmax they personally owe you a massage or two.

It's a matter of principle! Whoever selected that option when making the listing owes you. You deserve satisfaction!
