I'm still wondering what could have caused that.

Dang it! It looks like I have fallen victim to this problem.

My front passenger seat and rear passenger seat is showing that now.

I couldn't find the pic OP posted anymore. I'll take some pics when I get home.

Time to test my bumper to bumper warranty.

Micaiah

Oh no, P. And I don't think anyone sits in the back, right? Wondering if it's a separation issue? They should cover it, your car is NEW! Geeze good luck with that.

Awaiting the pics.

You're right... it's only wifey and I rolling in my IS. It's one person for the weekdays.

I'm thinking that too... it's probably 2 pieces of leather mended together. It's somehow failing at that point.

Waiting for wife to bring my baby home safe so I can snap the pics.

Might not be two pieces of leather but maybe leather and a backing? Something light because of the perforations...Which may in fact be the problem. If it's too light maybe it's not adhering to the leather properly.

I know the car is parked inside so it's not exposure to sun or anything....

And knowing you there's it's not due to a drink in the car. Dang this is killing me. OPTIK did they say what caused it?

Sorry about that, looks like I deleted the pic off my flickr account.

They just chalked it up to it being a defect so I never got an explanation. I think its a separation of the leather to whatever backing its adhered to. If you push down it actually feels different than the rest of the leather around it, almost like a sink hole

Just posted the pics from my cell phone camera... it's actually more noticeable in person.

Sad that my car hasn't even reached one year mark

I actually have those kinds of marks in my car too, the bubble I had was way more noticeable though, looked like a wart lol

I have those too.. I read somewhere they were natural marks.

I don't care enough to bring it back for this..

I'm a bit more picky since my car is only 8 months old. I bought my car brand new back in June 2010. This isn't normal... the leather on my wife's 2006 Acura RSX doesn't even have any of this. So, it's time to visit the dealer again

I'll post what happens... most likely this should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. If they say it's normal or within spec, I'll show them my wife's RSX and ask them to show me 2 cars that have them on the showroom.

Good luck on getting it fixed. I had cracking on my passengers seat (which never gets used). Here's my story: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...ed-advice.html

I guess the replacement cover is like $1800, so unless you have an amazing dealer expect at least a tiny bit of push back (even if it's not justified).

Looked more like you were smuggling a turtle.

P, if it makes you feel any better, my TA has those all over the place from day one. On mine it's the natural wrinkle from when the cow lost weight.

Updates on this? I have the same strange lines in the leather on my passenger seat. My car is also a 2010 and I only have 4000 miles on it! 95% of the time I dont even have anyone sitting in that seat! Took mine into the dealer and they had the service manager come out and look, said they were going to take pictures and send it to Lexus. This was just yesterday, ans they told me it might take a couple weeks to hear back.

Thanks!

I have the same thing on my 12 IS350C passenger seat bottom been there from day 1. I will be following this to see what the dealers say.
