Steering wheel leather peeling

[Zim]

Man I just went on a trip to Virginia from PA & back... Noticed when I got home the steering wheel leather at the top was starting to peel.. first real issue with my ST...

WTF is up with that... 7k miles.. don’t get me wrong it’s not bad at all but it’s not a nice smooth steering wheel anymore. Total bs. What’s it gonna look like at 20k miles... and no I don’t drive in that position often.. Anyone else have this issue?
Sad part is most of the time I’m using cruise control with lane assist

Idk if warranty will cover it yet since it’s just starting to peel.. so annoying for price of this vehicle

Same issue here. We haven't had time to talk to Ford about it yet.

I’m having the same issue I’m at 20k miles. Ford just told me to kick rocks. They say nothing they can do.

And here I was irked because Ford didn't notch the under-leather padding to keep the seams flat.... this is way worse.
