5 Seats problem

Leather seats at 2000 miles are deteriating, look like they have 120,000 miles. I have spoken to the dealer who says it is normal for Mustangs, I have spoken with other Mustang owners & they say theres is the same. Either they use an inferior grade of leather or as others have told me it is the construction of the seat which causes the foam to deteriate.
