Twice on my road trip last weekend I ran the massage seats (Deep mode) and they turned off after 20-30 minutes as I've come to expect.

But then, about 15 to 30 minutes later I get one more push in my back out of one of the bladders. Just one bladder, just one push, and then it doesn't do anything more until I restart the massage. Almost like it went to sleep and reflexively pushed once when it woke up again before it realized that it had terminated the massage a while ago.
 
I have the same issue. Even turning it off and on again it is not consistent. Even after it resting for an hour, it doesn't work most of the time after 20 minutes.

It doesn't sound like you are talking about what I was reporting. This has nothing to do with turning it off or on or it not working when I expect it to.

What I am describing is that a long time after it has stopped I get one jab from it in the back. Just the one jab. I didn't try to turn it off or on, the jab just comes and pokes me out of nowhere of its own accord.

I'm talking about that phantom "I didn't ask for it" jab.

I've noticed that a couple of times in the Air too. Personality quirk.

I am confirming that it does "jab" me randomly after its turned off.

I'm adding a 2nd observation that even after resting a while and turning it on, it doesnt "reset" and operates on occassion.
 
So kind of like your sister poking you to get a rise :cool:
 
Or the seat is like "Hey, don't forget. I can massage you again. Just turn me back on."

Are you sure it's real? I don't mean that sarcastically. I mean maybe it's like when you feel a vibration from your phone in your pocket, only then you realize your phone actually isn't even in your pocket.

The mind is a strange thing.

It's some sort of undocumented thermal safety cut-out. I wish they would fix it, but it's hardly my top priority.

That's not the "single phantom push a while after they shut off" issue. Perhaps the original shut off was thermal related, but a single push 15-20 minutes later is not about them shutting off, it's about them poking you a single time after being off for a while.

I've just assumed they are related and it's some weird presentation of whatever the cut-out cause is. I also notice the "nudge" on the upper left of my back when the "kneading" style stops without warning.

Mine does the exact same thing when using Deep. Like 20 minutes after it automatically shuts off, I feel a phantom pulse from one of the baffles on my left shoulder blade. Maybe 30% strength. Weird.
