Body panels out of alignment?
Before washing my car this weekend I was walking along the driver's side of my car and noticed that my front driver's side quarter panel doesn't align very well with the front bumper (see pics). It's not like that on the passenger side. I haven't had any accidents in the front of the car or damage to my bumper. I've never noticed this before and I've had the car for 9 months from new. I realize that the gaps between the panels and hood are pretty wide (which actually kind of sucks for a car of this price), but this is not right. Does anyone else have this same kind of issue? Do you think this is something that could be fixed under warranty?

Are you sure no one has bumped into you? Have you scraped a curb with your lower bumper recently?

If there was no damage, it should be an easy repair.....however, if you have a favorite body shop, you may want to take it there and pay them a few bucks and have it done correctly.
Many times our cars come in with Damage....and they are repaired at the POE or at the dealer and we never know about it. Start off with the dealer making the repair....or go to option B |

I don't see where I've hit anything down low on the bumper, but who knows... I will take it by the dealer soon anyhow for an interim oil change and have them look at it. We'll see... Just seems odd to me.
Thanks for the suggestions.
