So i went to the dealer today and showed them the bubble in the seat and they said that its natural wear on the leather. they mentioned that the leather will do that because it molds to your way you sit in the seat/body and its not a big deal. he said that leather will form and stretch a little bit naturally.

He's lying...he's just giving you the run-around b/c he doesn't want to deal w/ the issue. It's not a leather issue, it's a foam issue. Read this thread and you'll find that some dealers will replace either the bottom cushion or the entire seat b/c they realize it's not normal wear:

While you were there did you check the G37 loaner cars that they have there to see if all of the loaners have the same bubbling issue?

Agreed....wrinkling of the leather is normal...the foam making a permanent mold of our butts is not.

No...without a recall by Infiniti, swapping out old, bad foam for new, bad foam will not make a difference. As others have said, they've had the bottom cushion replaced, only to have the problem re-appear months later. My pics are similar to the ones other members have posted on the thread I encouraged you to read. I will wait for a recall before I bug the dealer about it....if a recall is never made and it really bothers me, I will take my car to a furniture shop and have them replace the foam with a denser foam.

so how come some people on here are saying there seats look fine? i mean if its bad foam then shouldn't everyone experience the same problem? also i have looked inside other infinitis around town and i have noticed their leather seats have wear and tear/ bubbles as well. one was a fx35 and another sedan of some sort. leather does wear and break in and does not stay perfectly flat. Don't get me wrong im not disagreeing with you at all
