There was a thread with pics on it but I cant find it either. The search tool brought up other threads but none with the pics. The pic is of the steering wheel with the surface (where the controls are) scratched. Sort of like from a watch or ring scratching the paint off it. Cheaply done in my opinion. Another Infiniti fail!

You fail at posting pictures. However, I think I know what you're talking about. The black bezel with the satin finish? I have a small scrape on mine too. There was a spot of something on it and I went to wipe it off and some of the finish came off. I hate it.
EDIT: since you fail at posting pics, I went and snapped one. Is this what you mean?

Glad I saw this thread. My steering wheel looks a lot worse than the posted pic. I figured it would be a "wear and tear" deal, but after seeing others have gotten theirs replaced under warranty I might as well try next time I am near the dealer.

all leather that's dyed will eventually wear out due to the oil and acid on your fingers.
good to see infiniti replaced it for that guy out in sawgrass. i live more south so i have to go to warren henry. hope they do it too, assuming that should ever happen to me.
lucky for me i have a black steering wheel so if the leather turns black that's okay too

Question: I have a 2009 g37x coupe... my steering wheel has the wheels like both pics in this thread.. I sat in a 2010 in the dealership (and the steering wheel was SMOOTH leather... like the acuras tl/tsx are.. I hope I am making sense.. ours has the snakeskin type marks, and the 2010 in the dealer wasn't it was like acuras.. did they change wheels in 2010? It was much nicer feel

I had similar peeling on the top bezel of my steering wheel. I"m the only person who drives the car and have no idea how the peeling started. The car is an 08, I've owned it since new, and this just happened in July.
The dealer took pictures, then called to say they would replace the wheel and needed to order the wheel. They called a few weeks later and said they had the wheel.
Took the car in for this, the muffler rattle, and normal maintenance. When I picked up the car the service advisor stated that they had the wheel repainted by a local shop as a "courtesy".
I didn't like the bait and switch and let guy know it. The repaint was OK. If you didn't know it was done you wouldn't notice it. However, this week. less than two months latter, the repainted area is starting to discolor, and you can tell that something was done.
Since this "peeling" is happening to a lot of us, it's a material design defect. Infiniti's response to this problem is another demonstration of the lack of commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
In two years and 25K miles I've had four defects - engine, muffler, steering wheel finish, key bob.
In eight years and 90K miles on my Lexus GS I've had ZERO defects.
I won't buy another Infiniti and not sure how long I'll keep this one. Was planning to give the car to my son when he graduates from college in four years. But who knows what the car would be like then.
My apologies for the long diatribe, but I expected more from this brand.
