I have a 05 hemi ram with 19000 mile and the leather on the steeing wheel is decaying where i have my hand on the wheel. anyone else had this prob thanks.

 

Same problem on my '05 - 12 O'clock position.

 

Yup, my 04 started to do the same thing, basically the whole top from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock position probably started about two years after I had it. I thought it was the hot Fl. sun baking it and bought a steering wheel cover and started using the fold up shades in the windshield religiously.
I never gave it a thought again because of the cover being on it, but about a year ago, my neighbor with an '06 had the same thing happen, called the dealer and they replaced his entire steering wheel, no questions asked.
As I was out of my 3/36 by then and wasn't smart enough to call the dealer when I first noticed it, I guess I'll just leave my cover around mine for good.
If you are still under the 3/36 bumper to bumper, call your dealer, they will replace it...

 

Mine did it also. Like Hammer I took mine in and had it replaced under warranty (2 weeks before it was up).

 

Thanks for the reply guys. Ya mine is outa warranty so i guess ill have to get a steering wheel cover.

 

My 2004 is doing the same thing, I Just load the leather up with liquid leather conditioner and It is barely noticable. Try this before you go and put a big ugly aftermarket on.

 

yea same here i have an '05 and right around 1 o'clock it wearin out i think i may try som eleather conditioner this afternoon it pissed me off and i cant stand the aftermarket covers.

 

There are companies that will re-wrap the wheel. Just google.

 

Re-read my post, I would like for everyone on here to think I'm smarter than I really am, but my neighbor was the one who took it in, I covered over the problem when I still had better than a year of warranty left, it was after he took his in that I realized I SHOULD HAVE, but by then I was outta' my 3/36...

 

My 02 did it and was replaced under warranty and did it again after 3/36. Just covered it with aftermarket. I made sure my 07 didn't come with leather and just put nice aftermarket on the hard plastic. Its a lot easier to take care of.
