I was told it's not a recall. Because they can't tell which cars it will happen to ( build dates, batch #, VIN #, etc). But they know it is happening and will take care of it.

My car does it too now, but i'm sure its related to the bent license plate and the cracked front bumper i now have. It seems that someone ran in to the front of my car and decided to just leave. 
Some people can be so nice. Theres nothing like causing $500 in damage and then leaving

Just an update I had my "skin" glued back on for $50 at a body shop around the corner, guy is friends with my father in law, so I'm guessing he cut me a deal. He got it to clamp up without taking the fender or door off. Touched it up with paint and it is good as new

[QUOTE=anotherreject04]when i open my drivers door it rubs the fender a bit it squeekes and has rubbed off the paint about 1/3 rd of the way down the edge of the door panel....the door panel is kinda loose right now i have ......Snip>>
I have the same problem but I know what did it. I took off kind of slowly but after realizing either my wife or kid left the door ajar. I figured I was going slow enough to where I could break gently and it would just open a little more but noooooooooo! >insert noise here< donk! kapank!!!
It sure opened up alright....full force! It opened so hard 
that it came back and slammed shut! At the same time I was just waiting for the window to either shatter or break in half. Upon inspection by opening the door I hear this "creeeeeK" meaning it rubbed against 
the fender chipping about a quarter sized piece of paint.

DAMMIT...it came off again. WTF?? Guy said he prol has to take the door off to get enough glue in there, also sai dti might be a hinge problem if the door is sagging. Taking it back Sat for another look-see

Just to update, my skin was peeling off because the bolt holding on the fender right under the windshield on the front actually was stripped and came loose. This caused my front fender to sag INTO the door and thus they made contact and ripped the skin off the door. So all along it was a stripped bolt in the front fender causing my headaches. New bolt and the fender pulled out and all is better.,
