Unless one buys a luxury car the leather seating surface is made of refinished split cow hide, not full grain calf skin as in the luxury cars. Like a good leather shoe and a cheap leather shoe, the one will not last as long as the other even when the leather is well maintained. A 2002 should still be under warranty. Take it back to a dealer and they will replace the seat cover, WBMA
