My driver side seat appeares to be ripping. Still under warranty and dealer won't fix. Said it needs to rip more. Don't know what to do. Anyone else have this issue. I take care of my stuff. Not from being negligent. 1000010839.jpg

Not uncommon, I've seen them literally cut clean where the plastic base trim touches the vinyl. I think your issue is the stitching is expanding?

It's not quite bad enough in that case, I'm sure you will get there, how long before your limited warranty runs out?

Got about 10k in mileage or 1 year left of the 3 year for warranty. Didn't like their response of wait and see. I've had a number of other issues. This just adds to it. Seems like I'll get stuck with the fix once warranty expires.

Right on, sounds like the dealer is going to submit it as a warranty claim. They took a little bit of convincing. See how it plays out.

Thats how they operate, probably get the agh okay from 80% of their customers and off they go. You gotta raise hell sometimes when you’re in the right… a defect is a defect when it’s under a warranty that covers that.!

They took pictures and submitted? Seat covers have to be authorized before repair.

Get it in writing that they would cover it under warranty.
Give it a month or 2 and rip it if you have it in writing it would be a covered part...
