I was.rotating my tires today when I noticed this. It is on both side in front of the rear tire.

Wow! So that's from grit launched off the front tires?

in front of the rear tyres?? does not seem like the right trajectory to be coming off the front, but I guess it could be a big issue. will look at mine after dinner.
Yes from sand and salt. This car has never been on a gravel road just city and highway. I also found it on the leading edge of the rear fender at the lower door opening. I am not leaving this exposed very long. I will coat the whole rocker with bedliner if I have to.

The fender only appears to be on the drivers side.

No signs of this on mine, but I will be keeping a close eye on it. The paint quality that low down is very poor though.
Seems like a paint quality problem. It shouldn't chip off so easily.
What's Nissan's corrosion warranty?

I would definitely bring this to the attention of the nice folks at Trans-Canada.
I will take it to a nissan dealership tomorrow and see what they say. As I have said on here before not all nissan dealerships are the same and I expect to get different results from dealership to dealership.
I bought the nissan rustproofing but if this isn't covered up immediately its gonna rot. I'm interested to know if alphamicra has any of this? He has more k"s than me.
