It's common for a lot of Aleros. We have the same problem but it's not worth messing with. It was suggested to use a heat gun and see if the plastic would settle.

Maybe a combination of a factory defect and the sun. I do not recall having the minor bulge when we bought it new. It's not bad but it is noticeable.

The front ABS/plastic bumper cover looks and feels cheap to me. It figures.
