Default Issue with new leather seats

So when I put money down on my car they said they were putting leather seats in it and that was how I had to take the car. I was very skeptical because it's not factory leather and was worried how it would look. Well up until this week I've been very happy with them. I've had the car for 3 months now and this week I noticed the coils for the seat heaters were starting to show through the leather! I'm not happy about this at all! I'm due for an oil change now and will be talking to the dealer about it soon. If they are showing like this now it will wear into the leather like a wallet does a pair of jeans...not cool. [>:]

No doubt...I sent it back once already because the trim on the armrest was popping up from the leather being a thicker material...still not 100% happy with that either. [>:]

yeah...as much as I like leather seats I wish it still had the cloth seats. I don't want to be that guy who brings his can in for every little thing but this to me is huge...3000 miles only!

"I don't want to be that guy who brings his can in for every little thing."

This isn't just "every little thing." This is a big deal, man. It's a quality feature that you paid for and you have every right to expect to enjoy that quality for as long as possible. I mean, who do they think they're kidding if this kind of deterioration is acceptable after 3000 miles?
