Problem overview

Some Nissan Maxima owners report experiencing issues with the driver's side bumper separating from the fender, particularly when dealerships are unable to provide a fix. These owners often find it necessary to inspect for damage, as cracked brackets may require replacement. In cases where the bumper cover is significantly damaged, a complete replacement might be needed, which involves removing hidden fasteners and clips. While awaiting professional help, some owners resort to DIY temporary fixes, such as using plastic cable ties or zip-ties to secure the bumper cover. Consulting with experts by sending photos of the damage can also help determine the best course of action. Additionally, some owners consider using quick releases to fasten the existing bumper cover securely, offering an alternative to purchasing a new cover.
