Recurring problem. Driver seat leather cover (replaced past year 2008 due the same reason), Start to peel off again 2009. It seems that they have used very low quality materials on leather seats. I can't believe, this is the expensive model !.

Rear seat leather cover start to peel off. It will be covered by warranty. But obtaining a warranty appointment service is a little annoying. Is only one day a week at a specific time depending on the place of service. Is the second time a seat leather appeared to peel.

Driver seat leather start to peel off on at the end of 2008. It looked very deteriorated. Then the back seat leather appeared deteriorated too a few months later. It was covered by warranty. Now that driver seat leather appeared damage again. I am very disappointed because this this is not expected for a car like this.

Leather seats are so cheap. My driver seat gets so dirty and even Lexol won't get it clean. My leather looks like it is from a much older car. Honda really skimped on quality here!
