Anyone have problems with the leather cracking?

I inspected my drivers seat and noticed that I had a crack along the side (closest to the door). Is the leather really that bad on Infiniti?

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, what has Infiniti done about it for you?

I gots lots of wrinkles on the sides of my driver's bottom seat, but no cracks so far (fingers crossed). Make sure to regularly use leather conditioner to prevent futher cracking.

For those of you with leather issues on the driver's seat . . . You might try some Zaino Z9 and Z10. I have 27,XXX miles of seat time and there is no apparent cracking of any nature with my seats. Actually, any sort of leather cleaner and conditioner is better than none. Leather drys out over time.

Upkeep your leather and it won't wear as fast.
If it's black it's not as bad as the tan/wheat.

Jonnylaw your avatar is hot! Everyone in the office is staring at it!
