hey guys, i was washing my car this afternoon and i just notice that my front bumper is "slightly" loose but only on the "left side":doh:, while the right side is fit tight. i'm just wondering if this is cover by the warranty? . by the way my car is almost 2 month old 2010 flint mica. 1k mile on it.

please help thanks in advance!:rolling:

nope; something like that wont be covered in warranty; and if its been taken off at some point for anything it'll never fit back right/tight again

Unless some strange, random defect caused something to break and that loosened it, no way. And even that scenario would be hard to prove.

Have you been hitting any curbs? Any parking space curbs in the front? Take it off to install anything?

Just look around and see what's making it loose. My bumper is held on by 2 zip ties and 2 screws and it's not loose at all lol.

unless you have taken it off at some point or broken it by hitting something with it, yes.

just take it to the dealership, say, my bumper is sagging and i don't know why. and they can check it and tighten it up.

hey, guys, remember it is called a BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty? the bumpers are not supposed to be falling off the car. not exactly an expensive warranty claim, it would be like what? half an hour of labor, maybe a full hour?

yeah ^^ i heard about those warranty.

it says.
The bumper-to-bumper warranty is in effect for three years or 36,000 miles. This covers the vehicle for defective materials or poor workmanship. It does not cover any items that were misused, damaged in a vehicle accident or altered with aftermarket accessories.

well i never hit a curb, infact i always kept distance wen parking.

as i said it is slightly loose super slightly. i just can tell that its kinda loose because its not like the right side, that is tightly fit...

so do you guys think i will give a try to bring my car to them and see whats good?

The side of the bumper is suppose to clip into a guide slot, in that slot there lil hooks. Sometimes those hooks get lazy and pop off, you may just need to push it back it.

But take it to the dealer see if they will cover it under warranty
