Leather on steering wheel flaking
 

Jesus Christ, Acura! First it was the seats, now the leather is flaking off the steering wheel. What kind of cheap ass pleather did they put in this car. 40k miles and the interior already looks 10 years old.:mad:

I always put a steering wheel cover on mine and it looks new still.

My interior is beige so I got a plain beige cover. It look good too.

Just go to Target. They carry plain ones in all colors (i think)

As far as the seats. You gotta clean and condition them from day one to keep them looking new.

I have the same problem with the steering wheel and seats. Should I take it into the dealer and make them replace it?

as long as it is in warranty most will replace the defective parts

mines doing the same thing pretty bad.

Almost 30K, looks as good as the day I got it. :dunno:

A little Lexol works pretty well.

i got mine reoplaced under warranty. they didnt even hesitate to replace. feels better than new.

lexol - lexol - lexol

:werd: Its not acura's fault you neglected your leather. I always use lexol leather conditioner on every leather surface in my car and use a sunscreen in the windsheild. This is the only way to keep your interior from fading and cracking

i would go bitch and tell them to at least change the steering wheel

where can u get that lexol leather conditioner?

Any neighborhood auto store......PepBoys, Murrays, etc

Who say's I or anyone else who's leather is cracked or flaking if neglecting their leather? I clean and condition my leather on a regular basis, but this just started to show up a couple of months ago. Not everyone that buys a car with leather is going to be as anal about "protecting" it as some people. I just expect 3 year old leather to still look relatively new.

same exact thing happened to me. leather on seat and steering wheel were cracking really bad.

dealer replaced it under warranty. no questions asked.

go get it replaced b4 ur warranty runs out. otherwise, you're screwed.

yea and tell them you want the wood/leather steering wheel so it wont happen again cause you had to take a day
