"Faulty or bad quality vinyl used on driver seat. Part has completely worn down to the base cushion and another part is cracked and split. Dealer, Auto Nation, claims it isn't covered under warranty and is our fault, not manufacturing error. Also, steering wheel is completely faded and color is irregular.
