Title: Leather steering wheel problemm (wears off)
Post by: zip on August 22, 2012, 13:26:26

Hi,

my new i30crdi has really annoying thing going on. Just after few months my leather steering wheel show signs of wear off.

After driving my hands are full of small leather particles and wheel looks really ugly, like the car is 20 years old.

Anyone has similar problems?

well known problem in Russia as many i30's owners have faced it (I didn't have a problem with leather as I placed two massage covers on it).
Be careful with steering wheel silver film on the left side, where audio control buttons are located, it is prone to delamination

How Hyundai treats it, is it replaceable?
