I just went to go start my car , and noticed both front seats on my 04 tl has cracks and wrinkles all over both seats. I dont think this is normal at all and i don't know if acura will warranty it, or just blame it on me. The car has only675 miles on it. I ahd a maxima before this and that leather sucked, but it didn't start to show signs of wear at least for one year. Has anyone expericned this yet? or is this normal with acura leather? What do u think i should tell acura?

Take it back to the dealer and and demand them to fix it....theis no way its "normal"!

vinarnold

i know on the tl site alot of people are complaing about this, and their dealer said it was normal. Iam bitching like a little girl until they fix it....

vinarnold call me on my cell so you can take me for a spin in the TL....can ant hook it up.

vinarnold

yeah why not, did u have leather problems with your cl when u had it. i will call ant to set it up.

vinarnold

also just noticed my memory seats don't work only two problems with the car so far.

He came over today...seats are the normal crackling on the sides where the leather isn't perferated. Memory worked perfectly fine when I checked...but vin swears they weren't working earlier...hehehehe

"seats are the normal crackling on the sides"

The leather seats in the new 04 Tl normally start cracking at 675 miles? wtf?

I don't believe I've ever had a car that was anywhere near that bad, and if Acura thinks that's normal I don't think I want to buy one.

Yea that's a real show stopper for me.

Wrinkles should be normal for any leather seat... HOWEVER, cracking is NOT!!!! If your leather actually cracks, go bi@tch at dealer and demand them to fix it....

vinarnold

let me rephrase this the seats are not cracking i just explained it wrong, i mean the wrinkles were deep. my bad

I had wrinkles forming after about 5000 miles or so. Here's a pic from about that time.

green monster, thats seems normal



u guys must rmbr, japanese leather is a bit softer and isnt as durable as german leather...thus, it wrinkles easily...my family's gs300 w/under 10k miles already has quite a few wrinkles on it

chungkopi

that's true.. my 325i started to wrinkle after maybe aroun 70-80K.. it was almost near perfect conditon.. i just clean them with lexol once in awhile and leather stays almost perfect.. my friend's A4 and A6 is the same too.. way better than my cl..

GreenMonster

Yep, the pic is just a visual to show what's normal

Ant7701

Thats what he AND every other one of us has. It's wrinkling and crackling...not cracking.
