Crappy leather...must be defective

[IRA51]

By law any skin of an animal can be called leather,so waterbuffalo is most likely what you have. what you want is first cut top grain cow hide . check a Katzskins dealer the whole truck front and back should cost $1500.00 to $2000.00 installed . GM is notorious for thier leather.

Pete,
I saw your thread but your still in warranty right?

Flyin, im not sure what you mean between standard and luxury leather. I have the lux package but im sure its all the same.

Capt and Ira, you guys are right, a nice aftermarket get up would be a fix. I guess the point is that a truck in this price range should not require me re-upholster to the whole truck.


In the mean time i contacted the dealer in which i purchased the truck and they pointed me to Hummer customer care. I contacted Hummer and they are setting up an appointment at a local chevy dealer(closest Hummer is 2.5hrs one way) to inspect and hopefully resolve. The hummer customer care rep said it should be fixed if it is defective even if it is outside of warranty...in retrospect i probably shouldve got that in writing.

you will get no argument from me on that,they should give you a better quality leather in a high line vehicle. in fact they (GM ) should be ashamed . perhaps that is why Toyota is breathing down thier neck for top automobile manufacturer. just for laughs go take a test drive in a Lexus LS 460 and than a Cadillac STS and you will get a life size picture of the future unless the General wakes the F*ck up in a hurry. the high end luxury market is very profitable and GM ought to treat thier customers right and give them Quality products that are world class .

I was under the original warranty when I raised the issue, now under the extended warranty, so yes. My leather started crapping out at about 20k miles.

Be sure there are no signs of your pup in the truck when they inspect it. They'll most assuredly blame him for it.

that looks real bad shouldnt be happening at 15k or 50k. that doesnt look like real leather the way its peeling off.

hope the dealer is good about it and replaces it. good luck.
