Has anyone else looked at how the gaps in the doors and the hood and the trunk seem like they aren't completely right. Ex my hood on the drivers side has a bigger gap then on the passenger side. My trunk has a bigger gap from the quarter panel to the trunk on the drivers side then on the passenger side and my driver side doors def have a bigger gap then the passenger side too. Does anyone know if this is covered under warranty? Cause I was told that adjustments aren't covered by the local thief I go to. They wouldn't even warranty the sunroof adjustment cause that is making a noise when I open it and they said that "it was off a little from opening and closing it during normal operation" and that's not covered either.. Can someone tell me what is my best course of action. Thanks in advance.

 

did you get the car used? if its used and the body gaps aren't matching up it may be evidence the vehicle has been in a previous accident. what were the conditions of your warranty when you bought the car?

 

it doesnt have to have been in an accident.

sometimes cars have body filler, misaligned gaps, ect from the factory. accidents do happen at the factories you know. and people can get lazy while assembling cars.

 

true. just sounds like quite a few gaps that are off

 

yea, i have that gap issue with my hood, clean carfax and very high autocheck score. but who knows.. only the last owner does..

 

when i picked up mine used (with 22k on the motor) i had my buddy look over it and he pointed out the body gaps between my front bumper/fenders were tighter than everything else on the car. also noticed a little overspray from what looked like the bumper being re-painted at some point. he looked more at it and said didnt look like a serious accident just a minor crunch, so i used it as an excuse to knock more off my price.

 

Nah ghozt, I bought my car brand new from the dealership and it only has 10,135 miles since I got it. I really don't drive it alot and I do park in an indoor lot so I really don't understand why it has so many gap.

 

if its new then i dont see how they can deny you warranty on the sunroof making noise. might help to try another dealership see what they say

 

Ya I've noticed the gap on my hood. Car has 400 miles on it. They just don't build them like they used to.

 

ya nissan isn't exactly known for refined precision body panel like lexus toyota.

just get used to it. Mine wasn't that bad.

the worse part is where the rear bumpers attach to the quarter panels.

 

^^ No issues ther, but you can add the trunk lid to the list while your at it.

 

IF your in your 36 mo.. 36000 mi frame, the dealer should make it good, according to the warranty manual.
