Driver's side fender/bumper chip on Blue. Wasn't chipped on delivery. Possible flaw in the molding?

It almost looks like the thing got lightly hit on the bumper, pushed it forward, then the bumper scraped the fender. I have solid red and no flaws whatsoever here. Everything lines up perfectly.

But if you add that option and it turns out that only 2% of voters have issues, a TSB is not going to happen. I still think you should add that option so we can see how big of a problem this really is.

Ture, I will be looking at mine more closely this morning and also to see if there is a clear film placed there by Nissan from a statement by rudi. It would be interesting if Nissan already discovered this after the first few thousand mfg'd and took steps to correct future production runs. I would also be interested to see this film Nissan placed on rudi's car.

A crap, I meant to click front left (driver side).

Zerafian 08-09-2009 10:21 AM

wow! those chips on the your car are awful...Its to bad excitement of buying it overweighted inspecting the car that close....Im pretty sure no one would heh.

I suppose at this point theres not warranty coverage on that.

I dont have the option under edit to add the extra Poll line, so i asked if the mods could add it for us...

The one paint flaw I found is on the roof of the drivers side about an inch form the windshield. It's definately a paint flaw, you can run your fingers over it and not feel anything and upon closer inspection see it's under the clear coat.

Holy cow! I thought I was the only one with the issue. My front left side corner did the same thing! I noticed it after pulling the bumper out to do headlight swaps, but I took pictures prior to doing removing my bumper and saw the paint chip was already there!

I just checked. and i have no issue(only 200 miles on my car). but on both ends of the front bumper are pretty tight. i can hear it rubbing when i move them. on the rear bumper only the driver side is tight, passenger side is free.

Word for word what I have on the front left bumper.

I got some bubbling of the paint on the rear bumper, drivers side, right in middle. and a paint chip on the rear driver quarter panel, although ill blame that on road debris.
