Hello @RamCares,
I have a 2019 Limited with black interior. I recently moved from the midwest to the southeast, and just in the first few months of the spring heat, my dash leather has quickly and catastrophically delaminated and shrunk. I have an aftermarket warranty (a good one, at that) but it does not cover interior trim defects. My truck has about 60,000 miles. I previously noticed what I thought was minor warping and chalked it up to vehicle age, until I saw what a month in the southeast has done to it. I then started reading on the Internet and discovered this is actually being reported by a lot of people, some with model years as recent as 2022. I use nothing on the dash except water-damp shop towels and Mother's leather conditioner. I also use a sunshade.
Like all the others who have posted here, my dealer estimates around $3,000 installed to fix this. I cannot find an upholstery shop who feels confident they can repair the leather. I understand that on occasion you have helped other 5th gen owners offset the cost of this replacement. I am humbly asking here for you to help me with the cost of getting this fixed. I purchased the highest trim truck you offered and I've been good to it. I can't afford this fix in the post-pandemic economy. Please help me out.
Thank you,
BF from Alabama.
