I would not expect compensation for inconvenience when Ford addresses a warranty issue.
What are you looking for.

Eventually the truck will be out of warranty and I’ll either have damaged seats that I have to live with or I’ll change them out at my cost.

inconvenience has a cost. I’m wondering what the consensus is if anyone has run into a similar situation?

Interesting its only doing it at that part of the seam and not back more. I'm guessing it is something in the piping that is reacting with the dark part. Would only show up on light seats. I'm thinkin you are kind of screwed. You will never get compensation or payment for your troubles. Your lucky they have replaced them as many times as they have.

It does it on the front part of the seats also. It's annoying.

Hi All, I have a 2023 Platinum with the white seats. The middle black line bleeds blue into the seats. I'm about to go on my 3rd set of seat covers replaced by Ford. They don't have a fix so they keep replacing the seats. At what point do I ask for Ford to reimburse me for my trouble and a faulty product? It's a bit frustrating that this expensive vehicle has this issue and there isn't a fix.

Thanks for your help!

As you can tell from the replies it seems (seams?) to be common.

You might try contacting a custom seat installer/repairer in your area and ask about a coating that might prevent it.

Alternatively, you could buy the correct dye color for your seat and dye it back to cover/remove the bleeding color:

They are waiting for your warranty to run out.

I just realized that I have this issue AND I have a small cut in the side of the driver's seat. Maybe I can get the driver's seat cover replaced.🤔
