Let's hope Nissan in America is as nice as the Candian Nissan with consumer issues.

not yet. Both do appear to be under the clear coat. Will be close to the dealership next week so I'll see what they can do.

I'm going to try to get to the dealership Saturday. I'm doing a CHL class all day Friday if everything goes right.

How long have they had your car?

Skeeterbop 11-10-2011 12:56 AM

They haven't had it yet. I'm going to take it in and see what they say.

What is the issue with your paint?

It seems a lot of us have paint issues and I wonder if it's primarily the Gun Metallic paint which is affected.

From my research it seems to be that the under the clearcoat stains are only with the Gun Metallic. Other things I've heard for other colors is bubbling and water marks.

It's got stains under the clear coat between the spoiler and hatch glass.

Skeeterbop 11-10-2011 08:39 AM

I think there is some on the roof as well, but it is much harder to notice.

Are your stains similar to my pictures (post #98) or from Lakeshow (post #90)?

Skeeterbop 11-10-2011 11:35 AM

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be on every panel. Going to wash my car this afternoon and make careful nite of all the stains on my car.

The stains are tricky. You must see them at the right angles to notice them. If its bright and sunny you may not see them. Look at every panel at different angles. That's how I saw mine, in the shade not sun. Sometimes you can't see them just looking straight at them, maybe a side angle. Look carefully

Exactly how I found mine. You can only see it at different angles and very close. You have to be looking at the right angle. It's not like a dent which you can see from far away.

If I can have the paint taken care of for free or for a small price i will have the work done, otherwise, I can live with it.

I just spoke to Corporate, their only solution is they offered to paint the car. Ugh what to do.

Skeeterbop 11-11-2011 12:44 AM

Yeah, the crap on my hatch isn't noticed unless it is in shade. I was showing it to a friend at lunch today and he couldn't see them until i blocked the sun from the affected area.
