Rust!!!!!!!!
 
Oh no...just noticed a tiny rust spot on the front bumper where it meets the fender. I think it may have been from a rock chip or some sort I haven't noticed before. Do yall think this will be covered by Nissan?!! I'ma give them a call tomorrow, but DAYM..I'm PO'd! Shouldn't have rust on a car that's only 14 months old!:mad::mad:

If it's from wear and tear (i.e. the rock chipping down to the metal), then no, it will not be covered by warranty.

Rust is on the bumper or the fender?

I don't think that's going to cover corrosion due to a rock chip, though...

sometimes crap looks like rust. try cleaning and if it doesn't help, get thee to a body shop

Sorry to hear that but because of a rock chip i dont think they will cover it.. Its a Japanese car they use cheaper steel and they dont even galvanize it to prevent rust its going to happen. just hope the next chips you get are on your hood and not your fender as your hood wont really rust because its made of aluminum.
