Hi Garry, there were a few early ones that had problems with that area of the drivers seat.
Only the face of the seats are real leather, the sides and back etc are vynil (leatherete) which might be the cause, as real leather may last a bit longer?

They won't change the whole seat mate, they,ll re-cover the bottom section of the seat, it shouldn't take very long.

As for the steering wheel mate, that ain't good at all is it, have you ever driven it with any chemicals on your hands?
Maybe there was a flaw in the finish, and everyday use has made it worse?

Anyway hope they sort it properly and quickly mate :wink:

:x :x i was told today that Nissan warranty wont cover that steering wheel :roll: My agent said it got refused ...they have took another pic and sent it ...but it don't look good !
They gave me the Nissan phone line to complain ...but what good is that gonna do ?
The agent said its clear its a fault with the silver Finnish but their hands are tied if Nissan wont give the OK to replace it :(
Any of you guys have any advise on what my next move should be if they still come back and say no??? :scratch:
 
Just had a look at my steering wheel garry and mine is peeling just above the cruise control top button and towards the back of the same panel

and just starting on the other side just above the up/down button.

Cant get a desent pic with my phone.

Mine is 08 reg with 31k

I gotta say its a ******* joke Andy :x
They will replace a hole in the seat but not the trim on a steerin wheel :roll: :x
I wish there was somebody to choke :evil: but if Nissan say no what else do you do??? :scratch:
Anybody know??
 
It is a joke as you say Garry, it's a pickup truck all said and done, so should be designed to take a bit of stick.

Nissan want it both ways, whenever a customer pulls them on the paintwork, or other problems, the dealer will often say "well it's a commercial vehicle" so why don't they build them like a fu**ing commercial vehicle?

I also agree about the part leather seats mate, lots of companies do this nowdays, mind you it don't say in the brochure "part leather seats" though.

Regarding the steering wheel Garry, can they not just replace the dodgy bits for you?, i really think this should be covered by the warranty, if it ain't up to the job, they need to sort it :wink:

Might be worth speaking to Angie Mathews at head office mate, i can pm you the details if you want? :wink:
 
Are you sure you didn't have acetone on your hands? Those fingers look like they had a manicure Garry :lol:

Definitely speak yourself to Nissan UK as it is not acceptable. I've had the drivers seat replaced twice within 50k miles on our Murano and the second time the agent said that Nissan UK wouldn't do it again...I made them see sense and then the agent refused because Nissan paid for the parts but not the labour...So another 10 minutes later and they did it all...Go for it...

Sorry I used the seat of my wife's Murano as an example...Definitely speak yourself to Nissan UK as that is just not acceptable...The dashboard trim including steering wheel should outlast the car....
 
My steering wheel is peeling off around the cruise control buttons its a 57 plate and its only done 12k, i will be trying to get them to sort it when it goes in for the service. Nissan really should be taking this one on the chin and getting it sorted.

I have posted a link to this page in an email to Nissan UK ...as they are saying i am the only one with a problem with the rubber silver trim inside and on the steering wheel controls on the adventura ! :roll:
