my steering wheel is getting worn down already, with 48k miles on it. Do you think I can get this replaced under warranty?

 

bump...i'd like to know this too

 

THink about it. Wear and tear items are not covered under a warranty.

Do they cover your brake pads?

 

well i'm having problems with my steering wheel right now because i'm getting black shavings on my palms when i'm gripping the steering wheel?

anyone else get that? what could be the cause of that?

 

^^wear and tear

there was a thread about this quite a while ago. people were complaining about how infiniti wont replace this under warrant yet other companies such as ford will.

 

Nope, I tried. I found a salvage yard that had a newer one and changed mine out.

 

^^how much should people expect to pay for one from the salvage yard? ive seen them on ebay go for 4 bills

 

i have the same problem called my local infiniti dealer they said the only thing they can do is have it re wrapped with new leather for around $100

 

^^ that doesnt sound that bad of a deal.. i mean after all, its the leather thats getting worn out anyways... so no point buying a new wheel

 

how feasible is this?

i absolutely love how meaty the ///M steering wheels are. is it possible at all to export them into our cars and rebadge it? Or not necessarily get a ///M steering wheel but maybe an aftermkt steering wheel that's like the ///M wheels?

 

White knuckle driver??

 

come again?

 

I just replaced mine from a steering wheel bought from Accordfreak. But $100 to rewrap is a lot less than I had expected.

 

thats not that bad 100 to rewrap it

 

I paid $100 shipped for mine, used but in perfect condition.
