leather trim bubbles & shreds leather trim bubbles & shreds

I have a 2009 Honda Civic EX. I paid extra for leather upholstery. The leather "trimming" is not actually leather but that is not the problem. The problem is that the trimming on the center console and both front seats (side panels) "bubbled" and then ripped (This started 2 years ago.). This is from no fault of mine. I even park my car in the garage every night. I went to two Honda dealerships and they told me it was not covered by Honda.

The reason I believe this could be a class action suit is because my sister also owns a Honda. She has a 2011 Honda Accord. Her center console started bubbling and then completely shredded. We live in completely different areas, too.
