Well.. long long story short. I owned a 2006 mustang that the hood began corroding under the front lip. After much investigating, the corrosion started at the factory by metal fragments on the aluminum hood before the car was painted. Properly called oxidation, that Ford refused to acknowledge or fix. Even though there was a TSB stating the facts.. No more Ford for me. Got rid of it and never looked back. Good luck with Nissan!
