Description of the problem | The stitching on the leather wrapped steering wheel is very abrasive and is raised just enough to feel sharp and annoying. When turning the wheel inside using the spokes, the stitching is very abrasive and has chafed skin off my thumb. In other areas of the steering wheel, it's just not totally comfortable to grip because of the sharp feeling of the stitching. This condition obviously exists all the time, but is most noticeable and annoying when turning the wheel in wide arcs as in parallel parking. |
