Just walked to my car a couple minutes ago and realized the Heat (99 degrees, 105 index) is causing my center arm rest to bubble. Is anyone else, especially those of you from FL, CA, GA, who live in the constant heat running with the same problem? Also, would this be covered by warranty since is not a common wear and tear?

I would definently think this is a warranty repair. take it into the dealer

one member here had the same problem. i think he went back to the dealer and they replaced it for him.

Somebody posted a similar thread last year and the dealer replaced it for him as a warranty item.

That may have been within the first year, however.

A lot of people in the DA community say that the center armrest is not real leather but, is vinyl.

Maybe thats something new for the 2010... I think all the 08-09 have the stitching in the middle.

Glad thats covered by the warranty... Thank you for the info
Question is: How can we prevent this from happening again? I usually crack the windows open when we are having a very hot weather; Obviously when car is parked at a safe place

Probably not much you can do, I don't think it's leather though. But mine did this awhile back, just haven't went to get it fixed yet.

I have 5% all around and 50% in the windshield... I thought that was enough protection but obviously I was wrong. Ill have to get one of those reflective things or crank my windows even more.
