My 2004 Honda Accord, coupe that I purchased two years ago has huge holes in the two front seats. The leather is cracking and looks terrible. It makes the car seem much older than it really is. I took the car for service for another problem about a month ago and the dealer says that they will charge $2,000 to replace the leather on the two front seats. Wow! Thats alot of money for a problem that I don't think should have happened due to the age of the car. Before this car, I had a 1999 Honda Civic and the seats in it looked just fine when I got rid of it. I guess maybe as newer versions of the car models are made, the manufacturers try to save money by putting cheaper quality leather into the vehicles. I don't know but I am definately unhappy !!!

I HAVE HAD MANY CARS WITH LEATHER SEATS AND NONE OF THEM EVERY WORE THROUGH THE LEATHER BUT THIS 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP CAR, BUT THE LEATHER SURE IS CHEAP. THE DRIVERS SEAT DOES NOT GO BACK FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW YOU TO SIT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WITHOUT RUBBING THE LEATHER, AND IN A FEW MONTHS IT LOOKED LIKE AN ANIMAL HAD CLAWED IT, i FIGURED IT WOULD BE OK, SO I LET IT GO, NOW IT HAS GAPING HOLES IN IT, DEALER AND HONDA WILL NOT FIX IT, TO ADD INSULT THEY WANT $600.00 JUST FOR THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT IS JUST THE PART PRICE. THIS IS A DEFECT ON THE CAR AND I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA, THEY JUST DO NOT TAKE CARE OF YOU. I HAVE A HYUNDAI AND THEY FIX ANYTHING THAT IS A DEFECT AND DO SO HAPPILY, I AM GETTING ANOTHER HYUNDAI THIS YEAR, WAS GOING TO LOOK AT ANOTHER HONDA FOR MY WIFE, BUT NOT NOW. BYE HONDA
