Leather seat defect?

I just got a 2014 2LT/RS and I have only had it for one month. The only time anyone has sat in the passenger seat was the salesman when I first test drove. Anyone else have this weird bubbly line in their leather seats?

Maybe there is something beneath the leather and above the foam? Take it to the dealer. It should not look like that.

It goes across the leather and vinyl part both. I'd definitely ask them to fix that under warranty.

That would not have something to do with the heated seat wire would it?

Are the center of these seats vinyl and not leather?

Since you're going to the dealer you better take a look at the back panel cabin for marks or stains from the factory

No, the only part that is real leather is the center with all the perfs.

Not normal, mine don't have that bubbling. I would take it in and have the dealer give you a replacement.

Looks like a vein in the cowhide.

That's already been on back order since I bought it.

hwklife,

Congrats on the 2014 Camaro, but I apologize to read of your displeasing seat concerns. Although you're seeking thoughts and opinions, if you feel an official GM diagnosis is necessary, I'd be happy to communicate your sentiments with the Customer Experience Managers (CEM) at the GM dealer of your choice. Please know that you're welcome to message us privately if you'd like to proceed (with the above), or discuss this situation further.

William R.

Went to the dealership and he agreed. The seat should not be doing that. He ordered a new leather seat cover and once that comes in, I need to take it back in to get swapped out.
