My dealer said it was caused by having a wallet in my back pocket. Told me not to have my wallet back there...no they did not replace it.

I keep my wallet in my front pocket....that's kinda BS that these seats have this type of problem...

My seats started to do this around 2000 miles but it was minor so the dealer just said it was normal. Mind you this was back in summer and the heat probably relaxed the leather back to normal. Now that I'm at 12,000 miles in winter, the bottem cushion is bubbling and staying there. Time to call dealer and hope for the best.

So I went to the dealer today and guess what ....NOTHING! they refused to replace the seat as they told me it was wear and tear and normal. Now my car only has 12,000 miles on it so by the dealers logic, EVERY OTHER infiniti should have this issue as mine was normal. I had the service people come out to their used car section to check out the seats.. and what do you know, every used infiniti out there had no seat bubble. Mine was the only car on the lot with this seat issue.

I guess those of you that have gotten the seat replaced should consider yourself very lucky.

you could try calling infiniti directly and asking them to cover under warranty. if my dealer considers it normal wear and tear when i take my car in, i'm planning to give infiniti a call directly and giving them an earful.

my car doesnt even have 600 miles on it, and im starting to see the bubble.

i already put some leather conditioner on it.

im going to drive with my wallet in my front pocket from now on...LAME

Call Infiniti directly, dont deal with the dealership if they are going to refuse to do it. Ive seen 20 year old cars with leather seats in better condition than what my seat was at before they replaced it. By the way its happening again im just too lazy to take it in.

From what I have read, most of the time people call Infiniti, they say it is dealer discretion as to if they will warrant the work or not. Maybe I will give them a call anyway to see what they say.

The service person also told me they cannot just replace the button cushion and that the whole seat would be replaced due to the air bag sensor. Seems like a blatant lie as many people here have had their button cushion replaced

Yeah thats a lie, they only replace the leather.

I dont get why Infiniti would say contact your dealer, when the dealer takes pictures of the seat and sends it to corporate for approval...
