I'm a victim here too. My rear seats look just like the pics from koman's. Here's my list of complaints:

I bought my car brand new and I've had the blown front struts issue on the 06's (fixed under warranty, car had 6,000 miles on it), a passenger window that quit working (dealership looked at it and couldn't replicate the problem, hasn't messed up since), the keylock deal inside the steering wheel almost locked up on me and left me stranded at the beach but I wiggled and banged and forced and got it to turn over and hasn't since locked up, the lock on the side of the driver's door didn't work the ONE time I needed to use it because
I thought my key fob battery had gone dead when in reallity after the dealership looked at it, it just lost its program to the car...., the grey rear bumper fascia thing that says GTO on it on the '05s and '06s warped violently for no apparent reason and was replaced at my expense, got the leather seats in the back coming apart, and currently I am fighting a key fob issue......

The dealership never gave me this special card we were suppose to get with the new car that had codes on it that the dealership needs to do things like reprogram the key fob if it loses it's program with the car. I have been waiting for my dealership to get a replacement card from Holden or at least a fax with the codes on it so I can get my key fob reprogrammed to the car, am currently using my backup key fob..... Sigh....all things considered, I've had the car 2 years and 3 months and wouldn't trade it for the world. I guess that means I have a sickness or something...

Oh, by the way, as far as the climate thing goes on the seats coming apart as someone else said in this thread, there may be something to that. I live on the gulf coast of Alabama where it's hot as hell 9 months out of the year with 7,000% humidity. It makes me wonder how many people up in colder climates are facing this leather seat stitching issue.

If they are able to restitch it, then you'd think it must be a thread issue, not a leather shrinkage issue.

I just tinted my windows so hopefully that will help after i get my seats redone. I live in South Jersey and mine sat out is the sun at the dealership for almost 2 years before I bought it and it was brand new. So the sun thing is a good possiblity.
