My 370 is Starting to Falter

I clicked on this thread expecting/dreading mechanical problems. These are all minor, especially the key fob.

What, after three years your Z isn't factory fresh anymore! Say it ain't so!

That's like returning a quartz watch as defective because the battery finally died after three years. Just... replace it with a new one?

He scared the crap out of me too!

The key is an easy fix and the leather problem could have been avoided with a little preventative maintenance.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOR MATS!!

Check out what the sun does to say a............uh higher quality interior like a Ferrari. The same thing.
Fix the battery problem with your key and learn to detail your car on here or with the many high end detailers in the LA area. No car is perfect not even a Lexus.

Durability is the hallmark of some cars but they do need care and maintenance over time.

The floor mat wear is something else related to your feet and damage by debris and water. Mine is 2 years old and looks basically new. Worst case you buy a new one and again problem solved and inexpensively at that.

Yeah tell me about it. So was I? What really cracks me up is the "You get what you pay for line". WTF do people expect from 40k cars exactly? But I think the OP ain't doin so bad...

The leather would be in better condition if properly conditioned.. I would take the advice of the few posts already on the leather. It sounds like to me your FOB battery may be dying and is acting up.
Another thing. For some types of issues, its not uncommon to get warranty service after your warranty is up. Sometimes things like a defective fob may be covered as a courtesy? Especially if you have been getting your car serviced at the same dealership and have been very responsible with maintenence. So just get it checked out. It may have a "no cost fix"?

The mats are wear and tear. Take the loss.
