I bought the '02 RSX new and it just has 62,000 miles on it. Last year, the top quadrant of the gray leather steering wheel is flaking off the gray top leather!

My local dealer, Acura by Executive in North Haven, CT, don't seem interested in changing out the wheel for free.

Is this a common issue with Acura steering wheels?

It's not a common ailment. Not by a long shot.

But OTOH, your bumper-to-bumper warranty ran out in 2006.
So I'm not surprised by your dealer's reaction.

Realistically, this can be solved in short order by reupholstering your current wheel or seeing what kind of a deal you can find online for a nearly new OEM unit.

i had that problem when i wore a ring, it would chip away at the steering wheel really lightly.

Mine's had one of those perforated lace on steering wheel covers on it since the day after it was bought. Not the best looking thing, but cheap.
