I think people have talked about it before. Noticing some rust starting in little spots on the tailgate. How long did you all wait to go to the dealer to make em fix it?

It is from the semi-metalic brake pads. Used so see it all the time on vehicles up north when I lived there. Grab a clay bar and clean it off.

yeah I noticed them about a month ago when I brought the X to a carwash. First thought I almost lost my mind. But hey if a clay bar work then I will give it a try if not off to the dealer I guess. Defibvt where would you get a clay bar from?

thanks

You should be able to find them at an auto parts store such as Checker, AutoZone, etc.

Juntao..........just be anal like the rest of us and srutinise the ride everytime you wash it by hand. Its not like they are huge spots or rust. MOre like the size of a couple pin heads.

yep, called my dealer today, and the maager said to bring it in and we will figure something out. So I'm hoping even just the back hatch paint, but the whole truck would be nice

Dealers nationwide will not admit this is a major problem on some xteras. We have the same thing on our 08 - To fix it the right way would be for Nissan to recall all the xteras that suffer from this bad paint job and repaint.
That is expecting alot - it is a major job - but it still needs to be done.
Many people suffer from the same thing and many post their e-mail address. It would not take much for all the people to band together and demand something be done but you would think nissan would not wait that long to fix a problem for their devoted customers

Wow. A thread resurrected from the dead. You do realize the last post before yours was from 63 months ago, right?
