We have not used any type of cleaner or leather polish on this either. It is my understanding that the 2011 jeep's have this issue. I want to know what the manufacture is going to do about this issue.

Leather dash is bubbling and peeling which is causing dash mounted windshield defroster vents to be blocked. Blocked vents can not provide heat to the windshield causing ice build-up on the windshield during cold winter months. This results in blocked/impaired vision while on the roadway which could result in a crash. The leather dash has also bubbled over the passenger airbag which could affect the deployment of the airbag during a crash.
