I could not agree more; that is no excuse. As far as the telephone calls go, you are both lucky. When I was in the Navy and deployed overseas we got to make a call once or twice a month if you could find a phone card and you had time in a port. I would have enjoyed waiting in line for a few minutes to use a phone much less have access to a computer. Of course my Dad might could respond by telling me to stop complaining as he was only able to communicate by message in a bottle, but a little perspective is always nice. Gotta love the desert vacation though!

I had this same issue that showed up very soon after I bought the car. I lived with it for a while to see if it got any better and then finally had the dealer look at it when I took it in for an oil change. They replaced the bottom leather and cushion and it seemed to be fine at first, but now a few months later the same dents and bubbles are reappearing. Haven't decided if I'm going to complain again.

Does anyone know if it is the leather or the seat design? I'm wondering if having the interior leather reupholstered by a custom shop with higher quality leather might fix the problem (it would also allow for a custom interior color 
).

Ummm - you kinda started the bashing man. Running missions in Iraq doesn't really have anything to do with bashing someone about their thread does it? I'd assume posting a meaningless response is just eating into the limited time you have anyway.

Just some info
1.- This is happening on the Canadian models too.
2.- I have had the problem, taken it in, had the bottom seat cushion leather replaced, not the whole cushion and within a month after replacing, similar effect was noted. I took it in again and the shop guy said he had to talk to Infiniti themselves about it to see if it was an error in there install that caused the re-occurance. Haven't heard back from them yet and it's been about 2 months or so, but i can wait till summer anyway, and hopefully i can convince them to replace with 09' seats if the problem has been fixed.
3.- There original idea was to re-pad/increase the padding in the seat but after consulting there upolstery guy they said it could not be done due to the shape/type of seat.
4.- My dealership has been pretty good about the whole thing, but without a permanent fix for 08' model seats, i am considering trading it in based on the now cheap look it has.

This is just infiniti cheaping out.
Dealer will replace the seat cover but it sounds like it will just be back in a month or two.
Total BS.

I gave up on Infiniti - too many areas where they "cheaped out," like the seats... it wasn't an easy decision, but after the seats, transmission problems (posted elsewhere) and NUMEROUS rattles - including the illusive, broken a-pillar spot wel, I got rid of my vehicle at a significant loss... went and purchased a Lexus again. Couldn't be happier. Too bad - great looking car.
