Interior seat fabric is defective in that it stains easily. The first time I noticed it was when I opened the door to get it when it was raining and the seats were discolored even when dry. Other events such as using the armrest and it becoming discolored, etc. Happened continuously. The dealer replaced the seats with Honda's original materials only to have the same thing happen. I now use seat covers to protect from further damage-which is a hazard to the operation of the side airbags. I have been left with no other options.
