Default Anyone having these problems?

2007 CTS-V with 41,000 miles. Mods are muffler delete and skip shift bypass chip.

1.
Two pea sized paint bubbles by the upper right edge of the hood. I'm the second owner and do not see any signs of a repaint to the hood and I don't believe car has had any body work done to it. The bubbles appeared last week and the car is washed bi-weekly using normal car soap and hand sponge. I take very good care of my vehicles and not sure why these bubbles formed. Any ideas why these popped up just now being the car is 4 years old. They look a lot worse during the daytime and in person considering the outside of my car has zero scratches and dents.

2.
I was driving about 65 mph today and the top molding that attaches to the roof and upper windshield flew off. Does this part attach using clips or glue?

3.
For the past 6 months whenever I make a right turn while still in gear, usually 3rd or 4th, I get a loud popping metallic sound coming from the rear of the car. Possibly the right passenger side.

Is my car still under factory warranty and will they honor these issues?

Your car's warranty should still be in effect. It's a 5yr/50k mile policy.

Do you think warranty would cover the problems?

The bumper to bumper was 4/50, not 5/50. The powertrain warranty is 5/100.

To the OP, none of us can tell you when your warranty expires, it is based on the in-service date of the car. Unless your car was one of the last built, or sat on a lot for a while, it's getting unlikely that it is still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty.

I have heard general problems of paint bubbling on GM cars with an aluminum hood. Dunno if the V's hood is aluminum or not?
