Check first to see if the product is covered under a warranty. High performance products often are. TLDR Probably not cost effective to repair otherwise. . . The water shedding, “breathable“ membrane starts to de-laminate due to a combination of UV exposure and evaporated body oils. You might be able to remove the membrane but then restore with what exactly? Assuming it will effectively bond with the substrate, Spray on exterior silicone sealants can be utilized with varying success. In either case, you will still not obtain the original performance, breathability, so you won't be as comfortable.

Like oldturkey said … check your codes. Maybe a P0741. DTC P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Performance. [document: P0741.pdf]

Not knowing what you have tried and assuming you don't have the security light flashing... Check your fuse block and verify it's not blown. Verify you have fuel pressure (50 -60 psi) should which remains constant for a period of time after the power has been removed. If you do not have the pressure its probably the pump. If you have fuel pressure, but is doen't hold, check the fuel pressure regulator. Was the fuel filter replaced when the fuel pump was replaced?

Verify the transmission fluid is clear red and does not smell burnt. Check your service records to see if the service identified below had been performed <= 30 k miles. This condition may still be corrected by replacing the transmission fluid and filter.

Check to see if the drive wheels are being resisted by a curb or other obstruction. The steering wheel could also be turned to its limit -perhaps nearly up against it's stop. If so, pull the steering wheel further in that (limited) direction until it is at the stop while simultaneously removing the key. If it is a curb that is causing the back pressure, you should not need to turn the steering wheel to its limit before removing the key.
