The chrome on my wifes Murano's grill started to bubble slightly in one spot, of course after the car went out of warranty. So far we have left it that way as it does not seem to bother my wife much. But if the Murano was my daily driver, I'd have that thing replaced quick!

But yeah, take it to the dealer. They should take care of that.

What you could do as well since you are going to get another grill, Plastidip the original (definitely sand the bubbling area) Basically its a spraypaint that turnes into rubber if you dont like it, peel it off. people are plastidipping wheels, and what not its actually pretty decent. Here are some pics of my oem plastidip grill. Google Plastidip, ooh and they have different colors

Actually pretty well, Raz76 had his oem grill dipped and lasted the winter over in his state. Even if you get a chip, just shoot it again, is like 6 buks a can. Cant beat it

haha, yeah i had my plastidip in my closet for like 6 months and finally got around to dipping it. I got the E and G classic mesh grill, i just did the oem one for fun, lol. The dipped oem will not even make it on the car lol
