I noticed while washing my 2001 xterra that the paint was bubbled at the wheel well driver side. It was 10 years old so maybe normal. My step father works for an auto auction apparently it is the norm. But I also noticed the paint did not completely cover the hatchback. Hard to see at the top of hatchback but both places are now rusting out. This is not from lack of care but quality issues. it was not hit by something, it was original paint job within a couple weeks it bubbled and peeled a year later of course it is now rusted.
