Baggy/ saggy driver’s seat

[fifthwheel]

Does anyone have saggy/wrinkly leather on the seating surface of the drivers seat.
I only have 1,100 miles on the car and it just showed up after returning from a 600 mile road trip.
I can’t believe this is normal especially on a 70k car with supposedly award winning interior.

As a follow up to yesterday’s post .
Is a wrinkled saggy/baggy seat bottom normal and acceptable or does the leather need to be tightened, stretched ,replaced, etc.
My previous vehicle a Ford Escape had leather seats and looked brand new after four years. I’m really bummed out that this seat looks this bad already. Also does anyone else’s seat look this way?

Mine did the same thing, it’s from your wallet.

Gah, what y’all keep in your wallets?

Nope I never, repeat never put my wallet or anything else in my in my back pocket as it’s uncomfortable. My wallet stays in the console , probably not smart.
That said does anyone else have this issue and just wondering if it’s something the dealer should be made aware of. Me personally I don’t like the looks of it at all and wonder if clips mentioned in another post might be the culprit. In case anyone is wondering it’s not a weight thing as I weigh 145 lbs soaking wet.

These are great on Amazon makes seats feel much more firm and comfortable getting in and out without wrinkling the leather over time from long mileage or getting out and in.

I also have a saggy, wallet side drivers seat. My wallet is super thin and almost never in my pocket while driving. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Wish mine wasn’t the one besides yours, lol.
FYI mine has absolutely nothing to do with wallet side as I don’t carry a wallet and it is baggy across the entire seating surface not just the wallet side. Going to the dealer next Tuesday to address memory seat issues and will have a conversation about this as well. Let me know if you have any luck with a fix.

Here’s the sagging I’m talking about on the right side of the drivers seat

my seat also looks exactly like the one above in the picture after 2K miles.

What is your plan…. Try for a fix or ignore/ tolerate?

ignore unless it gets worse.

I have mine at the dealer for the baggy seats and other issues. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.

Yes. Picked up a Summit Reserve in IN and drove it to CT. It was an 1,100 mile drive and the seat looks terrible already. Very disappointed.

Thanks. I’ll be doing the same.

i believe that’s related to the seat ventilation system. If you run your hand over that area you can feel a slight indentation which is related to the system. my JCL overland has the issue…but so does my wife’s 2019 Honda Odyssey elite, only much worse.

I put my wallet in the console when I’m driving. I see the same sag starting in the passenger seat and one of the back seats. None of which have been used very much. We are a family of average sized people, so it’s not a weight issue either.
