Default Leather Seat Question

I was wondering if you could get the seats replaced under warranty. My driver side is becoming discolored pretty badly (turning greenish) and is starting to rip a little (bits of leather sticking out). Anyone know if this is possible because I'd hate to have to buy new seats when the car is not even two years old.

What the heck are you eating that's turning the seat green? LOL!

It can't hurt to bring it to the dealer's attention, although that's the first time I've heard of that.

Sure, it's covered under warranty against defects in materials/workmanship. The problem you may have is demonstrating that the problems are not related to use.

I think the problem with it turning green is use, but I take care of the seats and it is only the driver's seat and only one area of it too. The other seats are fine and they are used daily also.

If you talk to the right dealer/service tech they will replace it under warranty.

Several years back I had my convertible top replaced under warranty because some of the threads were frayed. They replaced it no problem.

Try putting on something else and ask your service rep at the dealership.

for the last time the green is not from clothes...It is the color when leather gets worn out. My wallet is doing the same except it is like 5 years old and never really cared for. I really don't want to go to my dealership if they are not going to replace because they take forever doing anything and touch my car last even though I'm there 30 mins - 1 hour before anyone else arrives.
