As someone else called it BS to punish a brand over a dealer: complete lack of concern from the customer service phone call, that is why. I have spent a good amount of money on performance modifications to my car, and everyone of the vendors have stood behind their products and services. Names like counterspace garage, delicious tuning, and JDL to name a few. They all are absolutely amazing to deal with, and continue to aid with technical support after the sell is over. This has not been my experience with Toyota. I am going to keep this car for a long while. I will continue to use vendors like those I listed above. On my next car purchase, I will seek a car manufacturer that will also provide service later- not to mention a dealer.
If you guys think I have to post a picture or something so you can decide this issue, well I am done here. I was just venting and expecting a different response I guess. I typically take a person's word if they have a legitimate issue, especially on this forum. If they are being untruthful about car being bone stock or whatever, and try to pass it on to the dealer- that is on them. That isn't the case here. I honestly expected to be denied, just not without a legitimate consideration of my complaint. I have a heavily modified car in terms of power train and suspension and brakes. I expect no warranty if I damage something as a result. But in this case, normal usage ( and you are either gonna have to believe me or not on this) shouldn't be worn this much in 2years and 11 months and 31000 miles. I am really surprised that many disagree with me on that fact- assuming I am in fact being truthful, and things are actually as described. It is said that we deserve what we tolerate. Well, I guess my expectations are high. There are a great number of military aviators around the planet, mostly from the United States, and some from Europe and the Middle East that are doing well that I trained. I also had extremely high expectations of them. To date none of them that has perished due to "pilot error". I would have done them a great disservice had I let them ride on low expectations and low results. I'm positive I would have read of many of them dead, or unrated crew and passengers they had killed if a high level of competence and expectations hadn't been instilled in them early in their flying careers. You get what you tolerate, and you will deserve what you get. That is how I feel, sorry if you disagree. I have spoken my peace, thanks for participating!

Are you really comparing the wear on seats to training military pilots and saying the expectation is the same?
It is a seat in a relatively cheap car. Many(most) of us have no issue and are not "tolerating" anything. If you expect high price quality then you need to pay the price.
