Driver seat leather looks weird

Ok let me put it this way are the seat cushions also covered under warranty. I know leather won't be cause it's wear and tear. Someone please chime in before I ask the dealer and make fool of myself. Thanks

Leather is not covered unless you purchased some warranty for it. I can't tell if that is the lighting or just an ashy spot on the leather, have you tried using some leather cleaner on it.

Leather is covered under the original warranty but seat covers are specifically excluded from an extended warranty. I just had my seat covers replaced a couple of weeks ago for "abnormal wear and tear". Honestly, it didn't take much to qualify for "abnormal", merely a slight loss of color or cracking worked.

We had leather issues with two of our previous SUVs, the constant rub against our blue jeans frayed the corners of the seats as we entered the car and sat down. There were blue dye stains from the jeans also.

We ended up cleaning the leather ourselves because it was wear and tear. A little elbow grease made it look good again, mostly.

The only way is to go to the dealer urself and ask them. Different dealers have different policy. Heck! different service advisors will give u different outcome.
