I don't use it very often at all, probably less then 20 times. I also avoid letting the car sit in the sun in the summer although on a few occassions that's been unavoidable.
Well, from what I have read, there seems to be no common link in why this is happening. I use my seat warmer all of the time in the winter as it can get pretty cold here in Norman at times. Supposed to get down to 5 in a couple of days! But, my car rarely sits outside exposed to the sun. I have a a garage at home and a parking garage is at my job.
It seems people of all different sizes and shapes are prone to have this issue and heat does not necessarily create the problem. I suppose it could be luck of the draw with crappy adhesive between the cushion and the leather.
I think I will bring this issue up again the next time I need to go to the dealer. Cars as nice as ours should not have issues like this.

If there is no commonality between cause and effect, then there is most likely a defect in the material. Leather does stretch, but in a seating surface, it should be broken in before being stitched into place. So, material failure or engineering flaw...ergo, butts have nothing to do with the bubbles. Best to avoid the tacos, though.... just to be safe.

You guys are having problems with pressure points. Your butt chicks are supporting all your weight and it's causing the leather to stretch. You have to tilt the seat, so it creates a 90 degree angle with the back seat, to let the hamstrings rest on the seat. If your hamstrings rest on the seat, they will help your butt with the weight and this will decrease the pressure point. As a result the leather will be less stressed in the butt area.

FALSE! Think about all the people that have had leather seat issues from just this forum alone. You can't honestly believe that all of us have our seats tilted at the wrong angle. Cut and dry...wallet or not wallet, use heated seat alot or not,tilt angle bla bla...the leather they are using on these seats is crappy. Even since i got mine replaced i can begin to see signs of bubbling again. Solution: replace as many times as you can under warranty and then after that enjoy your poopy looking seats haha

I never said you had your tilt wrong, I was making suggestions to minimize bubbling. Granted, I only have 1500 miles on my G, but the seats still look like new. Sure, adjusting the angle is not a perfect solution, but I'm just trying to help. You obviously have the answer to your problem, so fock off and let others try to figure out how to deal with it.
Newbie here doesnt wanna hear the advice from someone who has had this issue, dealt with it through infiniti warranty, and can tell you the problem comes back...so be it. Enjoy trying to resolve the problem everyone knows about and infiniti cares nothing about.
