Steering wheel issues?

[Attackpilot]

So I have had my steering whee replaced twice now. The leather stripe on top the first time changed from orange to red. The second time similar issues but had a small hole. I am again having issues. This is currently what it looks like after 3 months. My question is am I over reacting or should I have the dealership fix this?

Sure does. It also appears that the leather on OP's stripe is damaged; you notice that as well?

I did notice. Looks like a hard thumb rub or over stretch leather.

It's a steering wheel. It's a high contact area and will show wear. Don't use a death grip on the wheel.
You should see what the GT350 steering wheels look like after a few months. Get a carbon fiber replacement.
BTW, I think the stripe should be red.

It's not a GT350, it's a truck. Even if it was, it looks like shit. I doubt a 350 owner would be impressed either.
I had mine replaced because it had a funny lump under the leather I noticed a year into ownership. No questions asked on that deal.

My 2017 with 24k miles shows serious wear at the top, not just the strip. I mostly hold the wheel in the bottom right which is odd. Called the dealership today to order the 18 wheel with the raptor logo on the bottom. They were adamant the wheel wouldn't work. Anyone have any insight if it will or not?

I have and 18 wheel without the raptor at the bottom and I changed to a 19 with the raptor on the bottom and everything is fine. I just had to use my old cruise control buttons.
