Guess Whos getting NEW leather.....UNDER WARRANTY!!!!!

I called the dealer this morning and I told them my leather is cracking.....NO QUESTIONS ASKED, they ordered me a new leather seat cover for my front drivers side seat. It gets done July 9th.....I LOVE MY DEALERSHIP. They didn't even have to see it!!!!!

wish I had that kind of luck with Crown Acura when I had 3 CD players go bad in the car. They made me bring it down to the dealer each time to see it before they'd order me a new one. I've yet to be compensated for my seven CDs they never returned, let alone for the pain in the ass it was to drive down to the dealer (45 mins away) twice for each CD player. be thankful you have such a helpful dealer near by.

Eh, this is no big deal really... Acura will replace anyone's leather ONCE during the warranty period. I got mine replaced at 30,000 miles... They just don't publicize it... But congrats anyway

typeR bought his there too and has even had his tranny replace and he had no problems. guess it's just hit and miss. i'll be bringin mine there again soon for an oil change, to get my rotors machined, and to hopefully see if they can fix the wind noise that comes in the moon-roof. ill let everyone know how that goes.

Mine was replaced last week too ! Didn't have to look at it either. I didn't like that fact that they contract it out and 53 miles were put on my car !

Funny story, I had mine replaced under warrenty last week...

OMFG!! The dealership ruined my seats completely... those jackasses have no clue about upholstering! Leather is loose and all over the place, the seat backs don't snap in any more, it is just not the same...

I am shocked that those idiots didn't contract it out, rather let the grease monkeys play with leather seats!!

All hell is breaking loose if not fixed!

The first time, they screwed me, by trying to paint some black shit over the opening, so I said okkkkkkkkkkkkkk, then 18,000 miles later, it opened up to the stuffing stuff, that's when I came unglued and told them to REPLACE THIS SHIT NOW ! sO, they send it out and changed the bottom portion of the drivers seat. Took them two fucking days to get my car back. I suppose it was worth the warranty wait.................................

I dunno, my rear seats were basically new, but they replaced them anyway because I said I wanted everything to match perfectly (meaning I didn't want the new leather in the front seats to be different from the old in the back). The front were cracking SLIGHTLY, I take fairly decent care of my leather, and I'm not a huge guy so I don't put too much stress on the seats/leather... I dunno, I guess it just depends on how persuasiave you are, but Acura WILL replace the seats ONCE during warranty...

Hmm... I own an Accord, but Honda has replaced my leather seats twice under warranty. Too bad my warranty ran out 500 miles ago.
