2014 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD Long-Term Road Test
Our 2014 Mazda CX-5 has seat warmers, but the unoccupied passenger seat one has stayed on continuously for days on end.

This vehicle would have already replaced my wife's 2011 KIA Sportage if it offered ventilated front seats. But the horror they might not turn off automatically is not something I am sure I could live with.
I do notice, however, that it's VERY easy to bump and activate the seat heater buttons when you're using the little storage bin right below them, or moving other objects around in the cabin.
I'd suggest the heaters probably hadn't been on for days, that they do reset when you start the car, you probably just bumped the (very exposed) button in normal usage, and that if there's a design flaw, it relates to how easy the button is to unintentionally push, rather than in how it resets.
