This is a consumer class action concerning a breach of warranty and an intentional failure to disclose material facts and a safety concern to consumers. Secondary timing chains, secondary timing chain tensioners and secondary timing chain tensioner shoes (“Timing Chain Systems”) installed in 2004 -2008 Nissan Maxima vehicles, 2004 – 2009 Nissan Quest vehicles, 2004 – 2006 Nissan Altima vehicles (with the VQ35 engine), 2005 – 2007 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles, 2005 – 2007 Nissan Xterra vehicles, and 2005 – 2007 Nissan Frontier vehicles (with the VQ40 engine) (collectively, “Subject Nissan Vehicles”), which were designed, manufactured, imported, distributed, marketed, and maintained, upon information and belief, by Nissan North America, Inc. And Nissan Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha d/b/a Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Nissan” or “Defendants”), were prone to premature failure and could not be reasonably repaired. Nissan’s breach of warranty and failure to disclose material facts presents a safety concern to consumers, and has caused consumers to suffer significant monetary damages. As alleged, the Timing Chain Systems installed in the Subject Nissan Vehicles are prone to premature failure, before the end of the useful life of the vehicles, and well before consumers reasonably expect any such failure to occur. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based thereon, alleges that a vehicle’s Timing Chain System is intended and reasonably expected to last for at least ten years, if not more, without the need for repair or replacement.

Nissan has been aware that the Timing Chain Systems installed in the Subject Nissan Vehicles are prone to premature failure, and Nissan continued to install defective Timing Chain Systems in the Subject Nissan Vehicles knowing that they were prone to premature failure. Nissan not only refused to disclose the problem, but also actively concealed knowledge of it. Nissan undertook affirmative efforts to conceal the failures through, among other things, Technical Service Bulletins issued to repair facilities. Although Nissan was aware enough of the problem to issue multiple Technical Service Bulletins to repair facilities, informing them of the need for Timing Chain Systems to be replaced, Nissan selectively chose not to inform consumers of this fact.

Nissan concealed this so that the warranty period on the Subject Nissan Vehicles would expire before owners become aware of the problem. Through this practice, Nissan unlawfully transfers the cost of replacement from itself to the owners of the Subject Nissan As a result of Nissan’s failure to disclose the fact that the Timing Chain Systems were prone to unavoidable premature failure, consumers are required to spend thousands of dollars to replace the Timing Chain Systems, or sell their vehicles without repair at a substantial loss. The fact that the Timing Chain Systems are prone to premature failure is material because no reasonable consumer expects to spend thousands of dollars to replace essential components of the Subject Nissan Vehicles’ engines in the early years of vehicle ownership. The fact that the Timing Chain Systems were prone to sudden premature failure is material to consumers because it presents a serious safety issue and places the driver and passengers at a risk of harm. The Timing Chain Systems form an integral component of the Subject Nissan Vehicles’ engines.

When they fail, they can cause a variety of problems, including the inability of the vehicles to accelerate and maintain speed, as well as catastrophic engine failure, among other issues. When any of these occur while the vehicles are in motion, occupants of the vehicles are exposed to rear end collisions and other accidents caused by the driver’s inability to maintain an appropriate speed on the road. The fact that the Timing Chain Systems are prone to premature failure is also material to consumers because there is no safe alternative way for owners of the Subject Nissan Vehicles to avoid the risk of potential harm.

As a result of its failure to disclose the material fact that the Timing Chain Systems installed in the Subject Nissan Vehicles are prone to premature failure, Nissan has recklessly placed the safety of owners and occupants of the vehicles at risk. 2007 quest having the same load noise on start up and was told by dealer it is the timing chain hitting the guide and will need to be replaced.

At about $1200, this comes after already having to replace transmission computer $1000, control arms $600 and multiple sensors anywhere from $150-350. The brakes wear out every 10-12000 miles. The cup holders, rear wiper, back up sensor and tire pressure sensor all broke. Not to mention motor mounts x2! Adobe Premiere Pro Transitions Plugin more. I have 121,000 miles on it and really thought it should have lasted longer.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier NISMO package with the VQ40 engine. I bought the truck brand new, and I have just under 44,000 original miles. I started having winding noise on my truck at the 40,000 mile point. I tried to figure out the winding noise out on my own but I was unsuccessful. I had a brake light come on and I thought I should bring the truck to the dealership and have them investigate the two problems. Troubleshooting the winding noise took about three minutes before the technician came out and said I needed a new secondary timing chain.

The technician said that it was mandatory to replace the timing chain and guides or my entire engine could blow if the chain broke. The dealership wanted to charge me around $2000.00 for this repair. I have my truck sitting at another shop right now getting a second estimate.

I take excellent care of my truck. I have been running full synthetic oil in my truck since the second oil change, I have had the ATF flushed, all fluids changed, brakes flushed, new pads and rotors, and new spark plugs, I run an K&N air filter which gets cleaned at every oil change.

Having a timing chain issue on my truck should not happen after 44K miles. Nissan has a serious design flaw with this engine, and I am forced to sell this truck after the repairs are complete. I have a 04 maxima that had timing chains and tensioners replaced at under 100k. Thinking the car would last me a while after repairs made, I have put a decent amount of time and money into replacing other things as needed which is only normal for a car of this age.

Now I am at 140k and my timing chains/tensioners need to be replaced AGAIN!! Its obvious the same crappy parts were used. This puts me in a bad situation!

I also keep randomly losing my clutch pedal pressure which is a common issue with this car with a manual transmission, and can be pretty dangerous. 2004 Nissan Maxima SL 3.5 has the same problem as others have listed above. I bought the car with 80,000 miles on it. They guy who sold me the care warmed it up so the rattle stopped before I got there to look at it.

When I started the care there was no rattling noise. Knowing what I know now, he had to have known about the problem, but he never mentioned it to me. My mistake for not researching the car better, because this problem is listed all over the internet about these engines. Now the car has almost 100,000 miles on it and rattles every morning on cold start, but the sound goes away after car is warmed up or driven about fifteen minutes.

I will have to fix the problem. The two parts it will need is the TIMING CHAIN GUIDE and TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. I can buy both parts off ebay for about 60-100 bucks.

The labor cost in my area is about 700 dollars. There are videos on youtube that show you how to repair the problem if you want to tackle it. It doesn't seem very hard to me since I'm mechanically inclined, and I have the tools to fix it, but it is time consuming. Nissan knows this is a problem and there should be a recall on these engines, but I'm not holding my breath for them to do the right thing by their customers. Don't you just hate dishonorable companies?

This is my first and last purchase of a Nissan product. Same problem occurred in November 2012. Transmission was supposedly replace after spending $3k on motor mounts still had the same problem after all this. After picking up my car from the transfer repair car died 12 miles. Of course, they said I needed startwr cam shaft sensor brakes rotors. After placing all still hear rattling NOW ITS THE TIMING CHAIN +. Mind you my car was serviced by dealership every 2-3 months.

I have totally lost faith in NISSAN. SPENT over $5K I owe $7K.I want in on this law suit!!

I have a 2005 xterra with the whining timing chain.I was told by dealer 1600 to repair. I called corporate nissan and got no where. I know there is a service bulletin about this. I don't know how this action suit works, but this definitely is a big problem. I also have had a problem finding a mechanic that will do the job.telling me its time consuming and to just sell the car as it will have engine and transmission problems as they all do.any input?cant believe at 45000 miles I should sell. Got 2005 quest with the timing chain rattle. It started around 100,000 October 2012.

Just took it in to the dealership because the rattle is getting really bad and needs to be fixed. Dealership want $3600 to fix the issue that will only happen again if they are still using the same parts. Seem to be a waste. Also had issues with the sliding doors rattling had it fixed 3 time under warranty and it continued to happen try to lemon it and went all the was to arbitration, but did not win. It still does it to this day. At 100K, I had to have the timing chains replaced on my 06 Xterra at a cost of $1700. I noted the problem at 96K miles and the dealer confirmed that it was a known manufacturing fault, and suggested the I contact Nissan Consumer Affairs for help in paying for the faulty parts.

I did so, citing the NTB09128 service bulletin. The Nissan regional rep claimed the NTB did not apply to my vehicle and required me to have the dealership reverify the problem since more than 30 days had passed since the dealer had verified the timing chain issue. The dealer's service folk had never heard of such a requirement. They reverified the problem and faxed the data to the regional rep. The rep still has not responded to the 4 separate voice mail messages I left over the past 10 days requesting an update on Nissan's intended action. I finally had to have the vehicle repaired because of very obvious timing chain slap, and the dealer service folk verified that the chains were about to fail. The dealership folk have been very honest and helpful on this issue--I do not fault them.

They told me about this class action suit and urged me to report the situation to appropriate agencies. I will be voicing my concerns to Nissan and the appropriate consumer rights organizations. Wow I just ran across this site. I was really bummed out when two mechanics told me that 04+ models of the maxima have this frequent issue and the cost.my heart sank 1000-1800 dollars! I have a 2007 maxima se with 82406 miles and love the car. I started hearing the noise like 3 months ago at first I thought it was the fans but now the noise is more apparent, goes away after the car warms up. I have a 2001 monte carlo ss with 164000 miles and no costly problems.

You would expect more from Japanese cars atleast I thought so. I will also like the join this lawsuit because I and many people on this discussion really shouldn't go through this hassle. My 2007 Nissan Xterra 2wd is having the whining noise issue. This started in June, 2013 temporarily and now as of August 10th the noise is more noticeable and continues to occur. The problem sounds very similar to other Nissan vehicles as I have read here to response's to this class action suit.

I certainly do not have the money for this costly repair! Nissan should take responsibility for this problem. I also have experienced the lacking power to accerlate issue. Good luck to everyone with their vehicle issues here. I just recently brought my 2005 Maxima into the Nissan Service Department due to a rattling in my engine. I was told it was the timing chain and was quoted $2,400 to replace it. I chose not to replace it since it had 145,000 miles and I felt it was expensive.

I was pretty much forced to lease a new car because I need a reliable car for my job, and I was told that the car may not be safe to drive. So I just finished trading it in and leasing a car last week. I'm a little upset to hear that this is a common issue, if I would have known this before-hand I may have demanded a lower cost fix or maybe I could have gotten a better price on my new lease. Any information on this class action suit would be helpful to know. 2005 Nissan pathfinder 110,000 miles let see, I caught the radiator and transmission problem right after nissans extended warranty on that expires 80,000 miles, but they replaced the tranny and radiator.

Of course it was after I replaced the radiator and flushed the tranny. Im out 400 bucks on that. Anyone need a radiator? New fuel pump at 75000 miles. Chalk that one up to maintenance. Now I have to pull the front end apart and replace a 10 dollar piece of plastic. Anyone with info on the class action.

Please post it here. Still like the car. PLEASE HANG IN THERE EVERYONE!! I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYBODY ELSE. IF YOUR PLASTIC GUIDE IS BROKEN AND DROPPED DOWN LIKE MINE DID.

I FIXED MINE BY DESIGNING A PART. AND FIXED AND INSTALLED WITHIN 30 MINUTES. I'M TRYING TO DO A QUICK PATENT ON THE PART AND THEN OFF TO NISSAN. I'M DOING THIS ASAP TO TRY TO HELP PEOPLE ONLY SPEND $50 OR $100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM (((((FOR GOOD)))) THIS IS NOT A TEMPORARY FIX, THIS FIX WILL LAST A LOT LONGER THEN THE PLASTIC SH%T THAT THERE PUTTING BACK IN THE VEHICLES. MY TIMING CHAIN SOUND LASTED OVER A YEAR AND MORE THEN 10000 MILES. AND AFTER PUTTING THE PART IN THE MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE NEW AGAIN. Also had the same problem in my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder with the radiator and transmission and replaced the computer in the tranny before replacing both at a later date along with the gas gauge and now the timing chain guides and chain need to be replaced and the temperature gauge it has been sitting for months and there is a lot still owed on the vehical I would like to keep it but sick or these issues and nothing being done about it.

I also have a service engine light on for the catalytic converters which cost about the same amount of money. I would like to be part of this class action suit. I have a 2011 Nissan Juke and my timing chain just started making noise.

Taking it to a dealership in two days. My car was manufactured in January of 2011 and has 34,500 miles on it. It SHOULD still be covered under the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty, but the gal on the phone said that they would have to check out the car and then determine what is and is not covered under warranty.

I am afraid that I am going to get screwed on this one. I have seen online some people paying between $2,000 and $2,500 to have Nissan do the repair and I have a local guy who can do it for $1050. That will still kill me, but I'm afraid that if I have a local guy do it, who isn't a Nissan dealership automotive guy, that I won't be able to get any retribution should any come from this suit. YES i AM 2004 NISSAN QUEST BROUGHT IT TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSING COST 125 BUCKS TO TELL ME TIMING CHAIN AND /OR PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND MOTOR MOUNT ARM BROKEN THIS VAN HAD 88 THOUSAND MILES USUALLY ON ONE PERSON IN IT DRIVEN IN FLAT PAVED ROADS I COULDNT AFFORD TO FIX IT SO I AM RISKING DRIVING IT PERHAPS WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED B/C THE MOTOR SEIZES ON THE HIGHWAY THEY MIGHT RESPOND? I HAD FILED A REPORT TO SAFE CARS. APPARENTLY ITS NOT A RECALL BUT IT HAS HONORABLE MENTION SO TO SPEAK SO THEY DONT HAVE TO FIX IT??

They replaced my timing chain under 'warranty' in April and said it was making a whining noise which I didn't hear. They said it would only cost me a $50 deductible to replace. When my motor mounts suddenly broke the other day ($1000 repair) I talked to Nissan and mentioned the belt when discussing warranty items. Turns out the belts are NOT covered under warranty. Furthermore, I read somewhere that warranty items require no deductible. Something is fishy here.

I'm still waiting on a 'local rep' to call me back which was supposed to happen yesterday. My 2007 Quest started with a tapping noise in the engine about two weeks ago.

My wife drove the van about 400 miles two states away from our current home to visit her mother in a nursing home. When she got there the oil pressure light came on and I told her to take it in and have it checked. The dealer said the timing chain has slack and may have jumped a tooth. Only repair now is to replace the engine for $10,000+.

She bought a new car (2012 Maxima). I hope it doesn't have this same issue. I would have been glad to pay $2000 two weeks ago to have this fixed if Nissan would have told me. I'm in on the law suit, where do I sign up? I am having the same issue with my 2005 Nissan Frontier currently with 93k miles on it. My service manager told me about it at 76k miles about 2 years back.

He told me that unfortunately I was out of warranty (I paid for an extended warranty to 75k) and would have to pay to have it repaired at $2,200. He said it was making a subtle pinging noise because the tensioners were failing and depending upon how often I drive, it could be two months or two years before it absolutely needs to be repaired. I told him I did not have the money to act on it right away. He told me to just keep my ears open and if the sound got worse, I'd have to pull the trigger on the repair.

Luckily it hasn't gotten any worse since, but the fact is that I need to have it done. Every time I take my truck to Nissan for service, they mention it to me. I'd much rather have them pay, especially because of the terms of this lawsuit, than have it come out of my pocket. 2007 Nissan Frontier CC with VQ40 engine. Brought vehicle in for leaky valve cover and dealer diagnosed whining timing chain. Suggested repair at cost estimate of $1933 parts and labor. Please include me in Class Action Lawsuit for reimbursment of expenses.

I have already replaced my radiator at my expense as a preventative measure to avoid the cross-contamination to my transmission. Where does this end. This was my first Nissan and it will be my last. I tell all friends and family to stay away from Nissan products. They should spend money on quality control and not always go to the lowest bidder for major components.

2007 Nissan quest 3. Marvel Schebler Aircraft Carburetor Service Manual. 5 same whinning issue since purchase of vehicle. I told dealer of noise and they told me it was normal with this type of vehicle and would stop once car is warmed up. Driving home with my children a few nights ago the timing chain broke and left us stranded late night in the middle of the street in very busy intersection. Now i can't drive my van just baught 8mo ago and contract to pay for the next 3yrs cost of repairs are more than worth of car.

Trying to rebuild my credit and this is what i get stuck with the cost of repairs of a vehicle i can't even drive our really afford. Single mother looking to be apart of this lawsuit too. Nissan told me that the timing chain breaking had nothing to do with me. That it wasnt anything I did or didnt do maintenance wise to cause the timing chain to break. But at the same time they said they would do anything in theor lawyers powers to get the 17,285 dollars still owed on my 2011 nissan juke. The car was exactly 12 months old when the timing chain snapped.

Has 62k miles. I bought it with 20k miles. Now I have no way to drive myself anywhere like work so I can continue to pay these payments for 4 more years. I have to beg for rides as I cant go nuy another car until this juke is paid off and that will be 4 years from now. So its a 17 thousand dollar paper weight Nissan sold me. Thanks Nissan and thanks for telling me youre going to report me to all the credit bureaus and sue me if I fail to make one payment.

Real nice way to stand behind your product and your customers when your motors blow up at 60k miles and the vehicle is a year and 4 months old. I've got a 2004 3.5SE.

Used mainly on highway. Now clocked at 177,000 miles. Manual says 7,500 miles between oil changes is OK, but I have always changed oil at ~3500 miles. Yes, timing chain noises exist.

I bought this vehicle because my Honda's had the non-metallic timing belt that required dogmatic replacement every 90,000 miles. Now the ABS brake lite randomly alerts and the 'Service Engine Soon' lite is on. In spite of using the 3750 mile interval (Schedule 1 in manual) my authorized Nissan dealer told me, 6 years ago, that due to the KNOWN chain tensioner/follower problem that 1/2 quart of ATF fluid should complement a total fill of 4.25 qts. (done along with my non-omitted filter replacements.) I did that for a period of ~5 changes. But ATF was no help in noise reduction regardless of the mentioned detergent benefit. Note, all parts below the oil fill cap sparkle! However, I'm NOT NOW PLEASED with the vehicle.

A friend even asked me, 'Is that a Diesel engine?' Please add my name. I've got a 2004 3.5SE.

Please add my name. 2005 Pathfinder. Bought with 54K and it had no issues. A few months after I bought the fuel sending unit started malfunctioning. I replaced that myself.

I did get my money back on that from Nissan. So they fix the small things. But the timing chain issue, they are making a killing off people. My 2005 Pathfinder started making noise around the 65K mark.

I now have 80K and it has become much worse. Just don't want to spend 1.5-2K right now. I disconnected/bypassed the radiator to transmission cooler in fear of the transmission being ruined by a faulty radiator. This was cheap insurance.

I've never had a car that had so many issues in the past. I own a 2007 Frontier.

Took it to the dealer around 4/09 because of clicking noise in engine. Repair was done under warranty and was a result of the power steering tensioner. The TSB was in effect at the time of this repair and the compliant was identical to the timing chain problem.Now I have been told by repair shop that the timing chain quides are worn needed replacement. Took it back to the dealer and they gave me a price/est 1500.00. They knew about the defect when the power steering tensioner was repaired and should of repaired the timing chain then. Not normal wear&tear but inferior plastic parts involved (guides). 2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE.

Bought with 44k miles on it and every problem that everyone else has listed on this car I have had. From the fuel sending unit, to right front wheel hub eating ABS sensor, Trans fluid mixing with radiator, Cat converters both going bad, now the Timing chain issue all this when i take great care of my car, only premium gas and full synthetic oils.

It now as 174K mile on it and I feel like it spends more time being fixed than not. I have a 1996 maxima with 313k miles on it with the original engine and trans and that car is a rock. Where did Nissan go wrong and why aren't they doing anything about all these Lemons. Please add my name to the list of unhappy people. I have a 2006 X-Terra with roughly 67,000 miles on it. I started hearing this whiney 'electrical' noise whenever I accelerated. After about 2 weeks, and the noise getting worse, I took it in for a service appointment.

I follow the factory scheduled maintenance program like the Bible and have a good relationshp with my service advisor. After looking at the truck, he told me that it was the timing chains, and they would need to be replaced. I asked if this was a common problem considering my mileage, and he said they have been known to start causing problems around this time. I was floored at the price of $1,600 + tax that he quoted me, but considering I'm keeping the truck for a while, I didn't feel like I had much choice. I am actually picking it up today. I decided to go on-line and see if I could find any information on this issue.

I was very surprised to find all of the other complaints out there and the fact that this has been an ongoing problem for years now. I had no idea that a class action lawsuit had been started, however I am fully on board. Does anyone know where this stands? Same problem here. 2011 Nissan Juke. Had the issue at 52,000 miles 14 months ago. At that time it was still under warranty so they fixed it.

Now, 14 months later and only 31,000 miles later (total of 83,000 miles) it has happened again. This time, the car is not under warranty any longer and they want me to pay $2020.00 I contacted Nissan corporate. They agreed to pay for half the repairs at the warranty rate. Will still cost me $700.

I don't think any of us should have to pay a dime to have this problem corrected. They know there is an issue and they have chosen to ignore it. This will be the LAST Nissan that I own. I have a 2007 Frontier with the VQ40 4.0L engine. For roughly the last 10,000 miles (truck has nearly 88,000 miles now), I am having the same issue and went to the local Nissan dealership (Stanley Nissan of Fairbanks, AK) to have the work quoted. After being told the work (replace primary/secondary timing chains/guides/tensioners/water pump) would cost a glorious sum of $3,200.00, I am considering my options. Thankfully I came across this website.

It looks like a multitude of people are having the same issue, and if this deflective handling of the issue is any indication of the way Nissan continues to do their business, I will no longer be a loyal customer. I have owned 3 Nissans in the past and all of them with the exception of this truck were superb vehicles. Shame on them. I recently have had the same issue with my 2004 Nissan Altima.

My car's 'Check engine Light' came on. I went and got it checked it came up with a A code P0341: Camshaft position Sensor. The Camshaft was replaced, as well as the battery and the 'check engine light' still remained on. I took a Automotive place that specialized in electrical issues (since my error code stated it might have faulty wires), they stated it was NOT an electrical issue but an Engine issue, and that my timing chain was stretched and needed to be fixed. They stated this problem was VERY rare and Quoted me $1000 to replace!

I've had nothing but trouble with this Nissan, just Ridiculous! How do I join this class action suit!?!?! I took my '05 Pathfinder to the Nissan dealer a few months ago for a check engine light. I had to get an O2 sensor (2nd time). The service person noted a loud whining noise coming from the timing chain BUT did not say anything about it to neither my husband nor I. I had the transmission, radiator, cat converters, O2 sensors, etc.

Replaced and cannot afford another major repair bill. I have owned at least one Nissan for the last 20 years but I have to say I don't know if I will purchase another one.

PLEASE Nissan - show some accountability and take care of this. I have a 2004 Nissan Quest with 88,000 miles. Had two different mechanics diagnose a problem with the timing chain system, timing chain guides need to be replaced.

I called Nissan who advised me to take to their dealership and have them make a diagnosis. I did, and magically I now have a sever oil leak that was not there before and they are saying that is the cause of the issue of the timing chain guides. The vehicle was not leaking oil prior to this visit. I have had regular maintenance on the vehicle and have documentation to prove that there was no oil leak prior. I would really love help in this matter. 2004 Nissan Quest.

Have about 150,000 miles on it, have to guess because odometer display is nothing more than a couple of dots. Started rattling, didn't sound bad at first.

Maybe three months ago. Looked online and found thousands of similar complaints. As I type this the rattling is getting to the point that it causes the entire van to vibrate. I know the engine is about to go. No other option but to drive it until it goes.

Stationed in Germany and feel ALONE. Nissan will never get another dime from me. This just happened to me on our 2006 pathfinder. The right side secondary timing chain ate through the tensioner guide and into the tensioner piston, and destroying the tensioner, and both right side cam gears. The car was into the dealer several times before this happened and they made NO MENTION WATSOVER that this was a problem. Someone even told my fiance that the ticking noise was probably from injectors (i need to verify if this was the dealer or an oil change place).

NEVER did they tell us that the timing chains would need replaced at 86,000 miles as mentioned in a previous comment. The 'ticking' started at around 80,000 miles and changed to a loud growl at idle and while at approximately 95,000 miles, when i decided that It wasn't injectors and looked at the primary chain tensioner. Which was 100% extended.

I have since torn the front cover off the engine and found the damage i described and took pictures of the process and still have the broken pieces. As of now, the engine is still apart, awaiting new parts. The intake cam gear that was destroyed does NOT come with timing chain kits and costs over $400 itself! A timing chain SHOULD NOT self destruct in less than 100,000 miles. Worse is a Nissan dealership selling selling a used vehicle to someone with a known problem that will cost thousands of dollars to fix within a few thousand miles, offering an extended warranty on the vehicle and letting the warranty lapse without ever mentioning that the warning signs of the problem had arisen in the subject vehicle. I have a thread on thenissanpath detailing the destruction under the R51 engine section. I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE which not long ago starting making this rattling noise that I took noted to.

It only has about 61,000 miles on it and it looks like work have been done on the engine via dealer or someone that had access to the gray sealant that the manufactory uses. I purchased this vehicle because I needed transportation due to a recent car accident. Now it appears that I'm paying for a car that will need major work on it leaving me car less once more. I don't have that kind of money to spend on something I'm already paying for that shouldn't be having any problems. 2005 Maxima timing chain rattle. Nissan USA said they reviewed the problem for me and nothing could be done as though only 80,000 miles, the warranty had expired.

I was hoping they understood this was faulty engineering on their part and thought maybe they would save a customer by at least comping parts, but no. I told them this was my 3rd Maxima and would be the last Nissan I would take a chance at owning. This did not matter to them. I will tell everyone I know of this experience.

80,000 miles! Come on take responsibility Nissan.

I bought a 2011 Nissan Rogue in September 2013. Immediately discovered that the timing chain was bad. The dealer replaced the chain and tensioners under warranty but did a sloppy repair, missing bolts and loose bolts then it starts leaking axle grease.

I ended up trading it towards a brand new Rogue but lost a lot of money on the trade. Now the new Rogue is having problems with only 1400 miles on it, might be a blown head gasket due to a stuck thermostat. I'm having a different dealer check it out next week. Nissan cars are junk.

As Senior Pastors of a San Francisco Missions Church we have just bought a 2004 Nissan Quest SE with 116,000 miles, approximately, for our Food Pantry and Social Outreach Programs. Immediately we started hearing the rattling noise upon start-up in the Mornings and the 30 Miles Drive to and from Church. Our Mechanic has just diagnosed that it is the TIMING CHAIN that needs changing, resulting in Thousands of dollars in Parts and Labor!

Can we benefit from this Class Action Lawsuit? Please let me know.

As Senior Pastors of a San Francisco Missions Church we have just bought a 2004 Nissan Quest SE with 116,000 miles, approximately, for our Food Pantry and Social Outreach Programs. Immediately we started hearing the rattling noise upon start-up in the Mornings and the 30 Miles Drive to and from Church. Our Mechanic has just diagnosed that it is the TIMING CHAIN that needs changing, resulting in Thousands of dollars in Parts and Labor! Can we benefit from this Class Action Lawsuit? Please let me know.

On January 17, 2014, while driving my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder on a busy highway, the service engine light came on without warning and the vehicle immediately slowed to a crawl. Luckily, I was able to pull off the road and avoid a serious accident. I live close by and was able to make it home. We took our vehicle to our dealership the next day and explained our problem.

They informed us that they were backed up and would not be able to look at our vehicle until Monday at the earliest. About four hours later, we received a call from the Service Rep. That the radiator failed and damaged the transmission. In addition, they found a whining sound and informed us that the timing chain would also need to be replaced. The cost would $3,200 for the radiator/transmission and $2,000 for the timing chain replacement for a total of $5,200. Why did the Nissan dealer rush to inspect the SUV when we were told it would take several days?

We wonder if they were aware of this problem and jumped on the opportunity to make such a large repair. Prior to this, we took our SUV in for scheduled maintenance in August 2013 at this dealership. We were told everything was fine and no repairs were needed. How can something so catastrophic happen so shortly after a scheduled maintenance check? The mileage on our SUV is now 82,300 miles, and we had planned on keeping the vehicle for many more years.

We contacted the Nissan Hotline and spoke with the Regional Customer Service Representative at Nissan North America to see if there was anything Nissan would do to help us. Since we no longer have confidence in our SUV, we were hoping to work together. We want to stay with the Nissan family and offered to purchase a newer, more reliable vehicle but needed some sort of compensation for our damaged vehicle.

She said there was nothing Nissan would do and offered no assistance whatsoever. In all fairness, we expected some type of compensation for a vehicle that should have lasted for many more years. We did some research and found many Nissan Pathfinder owners with amazingly similar problems. We discovered that Nissan was involved in a class action suit that was recently settled regarding the transmission problem. The Nissan Radiator Defect Class Action Lawsuit Settlement case is In re: Nissan Radiator/Transmission Cooler Litigation, Case No.

10-cv-07493, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Why weren’t we notified by Nissan about this problem immediately? Per the class action suit, the cost for repairs over 80,000 miles is $2,500. If this problem would have been identified during our scheduled maintenance done in August 2013, we would have avoided all these problems and expenses. This makes us wonder if Nissan and the dealership conspired to keep this information quiet until after the vehicle passed 80,000 miles. We also discovered a new class action suit filed on June 26, 2013 involving the premature failing of the timing chain.

We will pursue every opportunity to get reimbursed for these problems that Nissan was aware of and didn’t provide relief to its customers. They snuck these parts in and charged me a warranty deductible a while back. They said 'Listen, do you hear that?' It sounded fine to me. Then they replaced the mentioned parts from this lawsuit. The funny thing is on my paperwork, it says 'Secondary timing chains, secondary timing chain tensioners and secondary timing chain tensioner shoes need to be replaced'.

Funny, that's verbatim of what's in this lawsuit and they did on my very next oil change after this lawsuit came out. Sneaky sneaky! I'm angry that I had to dish out a deductible for a part that they should replace as a recall. Then right after my warranty expired, motor mounts that were perfectly fine on my previous inspection all 'needed to be replaced' for $1000.

Their employees were really rude when I tried to get to the bottom of this. One employee even told me the hot weather of Arizona may have made them go bad! Nissan didn't think anybody in Arizona would get one of these trucks?! I took my truck to another non-Nissan shop and they said the motor mounts are fine.

I guess they just wanted my money. Nissan will not get another penny from me if I can avoid it.

Got a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder 4WD with 139K miles. Driving 30 mph, in traffic, with family, the vehicle lost power. It started to shake and vibrate. Took it to the Nissan dealer. Was told that all timing chains and camshaft (broken) need to be replaced.

Estimated cost $2500! Didn't have any option but to get the repairs done. Did some online research that shows several people affected by this EXACT problem on similar Nissan model/engines. Nissan needs to be held accountable for this defective core engine component that is a huge SAFETY hazard. Shame on you Nissan! I just took my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE with 118,000 miles on it to the dealer for an oil change.

When they gave it back to me they said my secondary timing chain was wearing down and needs to be replaced soon. I told them I was confused because when I bought the car from them, they sold me on the fact that my vehicle has a timing 'chain' versus the standard 'belt' and would never need to be replaced. They said 'no, they definitely need to be replaced' and quoted me $1200. I would also like to know the outcome of this class action lawsuit. I have a 2007 altima 3.5 se with 96k and my timing chain just went.

I bought this car brand new with 27 miles on it and it's been in the shop more than It ever should've been. My entire clutch system went at 500 miles, they replaced and then it went again at 1500 then again at 23 k or somewhere around there. I've electrical issues from day one which in the beginning had me thinking I had a bad alternator.

At 60k my car just died on me and wouldnt start, similar to what it dis the other night with this belt issue, so I tried everything new battery fuses etc. Had it in the dealer for a week and a half they kept giving me the run around first they didn't know what it was then they finally said it was the computer and had tk order it which took forever. Then when they replaced I ask why thst took so long and they said thst the computer has actually been jn sleep mode so even with The new one they couldn't get the car to start. I found this all very suspicious and contacted the corporate number again to no avail. If I failed to mention before this car has almost gotten me killed and had me Stranded three times. The other night was the scariest experience ever.

I was on the highway doing 80mph and the car just shuts off so I almost crashed cause I freaked out. When I had it tested it was throwing crank sensor codes, replaced those and car still won't start. When I did some research it said that only certain altimas had a recall for having crank Valve sensors go. I read a review from a guy who had the same issue happen with his daughter in the car and how he almost crashed and died. I Can't take it anymore I spent so much on this car bpught it brand new and have had nothing but serious safety problems. I wouldn't recommend an altima and from what I'm reading and hearing a Nissan to anyone. If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction please do.

Oh So one more thing, Nissan tells me just for the timing chain alone it's $3500 that's without labor. And of course they can't gaurantee that once they are in there that more stuff won't be wrong. Now I have a car that looks and still is fairly brand new sitting in my driveway undriveable and No vehicle for work. Please help!!!! I am in Australia, 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, had timing chain checked today, will need replacement inside 12 months, quoted near $3k, looks like no summer holiday for my family this year:( First and LAST Nissan for me. Purchased 2nd hand in 2009, interior lights have never worked properly and Nissan in Cobram (Victoria, Australia) we're unable to rectify or even provide an explanation, reversing lights now won't work and blows a fuse every time globes replaced, mechanic says they need the vehicle for a whole day to investigate, so this is a safety issue for me too, and cruise control drops out unexplainably!

We need a similar lawsuit in Australia me thinks! I have a 2011 juke with the same problem of timing chain needing to be replaced at 65,000 miles. I contacted Nissan North America for assistance and they offered $400 towards the $2133 quoted repair price. When I found another Nissan dealer that quoted me less for the repair, Nissan corporate would not honor the $400 assistance.

My car also had a fuel sensor recall to which the mechanic said I had fuel everywhere. Could this have caused some timing chain problem? I don't know, all I know is Nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem. 2006 Nissan Altima 3.5L- a disastrous issue stemming from faulty timing chain tensioner.

Defective tensioner design caused timing chain to fail prematurely, incidentally causing oil pump to fail. Stopped driving car immediately upon realizing something was not right- but may not have been soon enough. Finding fine metal flake in oil- oil that has been distributed across the entire engine. Looking at a likely $2000 bill to fix the timing chain system- and who knows how long my engine will last once these items are fixed? My 2004 Nissan Maxima is doing the same thing. I took it in and they said they said the sensors and tower needed replacing.

They had the car for 4 days and 2 months later it started to do the same thing again- not shifting out of 2nd gear, jerking and slamming into gear, service engine soon light on, a/t check light did not come on. When I took the car in to the dealer, the lights went out and they said the car was running fine, but noted my complaint. They never told me about any notes to their technicians or that there was a problem with the transmission. The car continues to do the same thing and every Nissan dealer Va and Fl. Tell me that I need to spend money for transmission repair. My dad went old school and ran a chain from the engine mount to the body and bolted it in place so the engine would not move and activate the sensor.

2005 Nissan Frontier LE less than 81000 miles. Whining noise coming from the engine.

Was informed that the radiator assembly was bad ( a defective hose) causing fluid to leak into the transmission everything had to be replaced including the torque converter because of contamination with engine fluids.This repair cost me a $2500 copay because of a Class Action Lawsuit that Nissan settled. Instead of recalling all affected vehicles they extended their 3yr/36000 miles warranty to 8yr/80000 miles with full replacement and then 9 yr/90000 mile with a $2500 copay (from the consumer) and 10yr/100000 mile with a $3000 copay. After repair was informed that the Timing chain was going lucky me. I plan on posting the information about this class action lawsuit on my Facebook page as well as theirs. 2005 Altima SE 114k miles, timing rattle also, however I will replace it myself, the prices quoted are way out of line.

The kit with water pump is ~ $250 the procedure is about 6 hours with a minimum of tools. I am certain this issue has been known but is also a wear out item just like brake pads, shocks and struts. Those folks seeing failure at less than 80k miles should be taken care of by the manufacturer, but need to express their issues to the company and tell them how this will drive them to other brands.

Law suites put lawyers in new suits and drive the cost of things up, so I want no part in a class action. Our 05 Nissan Quest started off with digital gas gauge and odometer fading out. Nissan wanted to charge $400 just for labor but couldn't give a definitive answer on how much to fix. Recently we put new tires on and a week later noticed a loud knocking sound. Took in today (local mechanic) just to find out it is the entire timing system. Quoted $500 for labor, minimal repair (parts) would be $700 but they wouldn't know for sure until they got to it being that more work may be required. My first reaction was get rid of the Van but the husband thought maybe he could fix it.

After typing in a few words into google I came across this site. It's so sickening to know that Nissan knowingly set us all up for failure. On a good note I read the class action complaint and reached out to the law office to get more info. The lawyer was very informative and we will continue to be in contact during the duration of this suit. If you haven't read the claim (located at the top of the page in pink) please do so and DON'T hesitate to reach out to the lawyer. I spoke with Roland Tellis (SBN 186269) rtellis@baronbudd.com Telephone: (818) 839-2333 option 2 for directory than option 2 for Roland. I purchased a 2007 Nissan Quest a little over 7 years ago.

I chose the Nissan Quest because, at the time, it seemed like the perfect balance of practicality and aesthetics for a car under 34k. About 7 year into ownership, the car began to lose its ability to retain a battery charge.

Several times the car needed a jump start. I took it into the dealership, and was told the battery was faulty I changed the battery per the dealership's recommendations. At about 46.,000 miles, I take in the car to get checked out because of a 'rattling' noise coming from the engine. A diagnostic was run, and I was told that I would be looking at a $2000 repair to replace and/or repair the timing chain, which, according to the tech, I should do sometime soon.I ask one of the Nissan Parts person when i need to replaced the timing chain according to their book at 100K, Michael Shaghoury 1825 Lyman Dutton CIR EL Paso TX 79936 michaelshaghoury@gmail.com michaelshaghoury@yahoo.com 915-856-9597 H 915-740-5923 W VEHICLE ID 5N1BV15. I have just replaced transmission and radiator.

I now have a whining sound in the timing chain. Now I will need to replace tensioner, gaskets. Chain maybe ok at least now. Nissan does not care what we think.

They have turned a deaf ear to their customers. We don't need to just get mad and go away. We need to complain, complain and complain some more. The more pressure we put on them the more possibly they will listen and do the right thing. I know I will never buy another Nissan.

This is after having purchased 5 different Nissans over the years. They were reliable at one time but not now. My 2007 Xterra at 99K miles got diagnosed with 'Replace timing chains and tensioners and replace variable timing sprockets' in January 2014, for the quoted price of $1500.00 while in the shop to replace the failed ECU ($1356). They listed other problems totaling $6,510!!! Among them: broken motor mounts, replace valve cover gaskets, sway-bar bushings, shocks, blah blah blah). Two of their listed problems are not even happening (oil leak & power steering leak). One recommended fix: engine oil cooler o-ring, which was already fixed by my husband!

There is not a drop of oil or any other fluid in the driveway. They say the tranny fluid checked out okay, so when we got the X home my son promptly did the bypass so that disaster wouldn't occur. Then today, my check engine light came on - time to replace the camshaft sensors. I feel lucky that - to date - my cats are still okay after the ECU failure. I know I have an electrical issue as my air bag lights are flashing and my horn won't work - and neither problem was mentioned in my 'World Class Inspection' even though it went into the shop with those issues!

My X has had electrical issues in the past: my windows failed - and then worked again after dealer replaced my fuel sending unit upon recall (less than 100 miles before I would have been past the recall mileage). Seriously Nissan, you've lost a loyal customer (my 1991 Sentra went over 220k miles with no issues). My 2007 Xterra at 99K miles got diagnosed with 'Replace timing chains and tensioners and replace variable timing sprockets' in January 2014, for the quoted price of $1500.00 while in the shop to replace the failed ECU ($1356).

Seriously Nissan, you've lost a loyal customer (my 1991 Sentra went over 220k miles with no issues). Yes I do have the same noise from my Nissan 2007 maxima se, and Pohanka Nissan Dealership in Fredericksburg VA informed me needs timing chain. I had taken my vehicle to Pohanka in Fredericksburg because I have had bad experience with last dealership which called Sheehy Nissan in Manassas VA after spending over $2,000 for 100,000 mile tune up and motor mounts replacement. After I all that was done, after I get home I smell radiator fluid and notice the dealership crack my radiator.

They agree to replace with a after market radiator and I notice a month in a half later my transmission feel like it's riding in low gear. So taken the vehicle to Pohanka Nissan in Fredericksburg VA and they found out who put the radiator on the vehicle had crimped the radiator hose going to the transmission causing the transmission to over heat.

They informed me that my transmission needing replaced, so contacted Sheehy Nissan and had to go and tow my Vehicle to their shop to replace transmission and also damage underneath my vehicle I decide not take my vehicle to the dealership again. I just have had bad service with Nissan. This is a shame so many loyal Nissan customers being taken advantage of. I have my 1997 Nissan maxima se with 373,000 miles and have not had any timing chain problems. People are working to hard for something like this to happen. I don't understand why Nissan can't be held accountable on these issues.

The public should be aware of these ongoing issues with Nissan like the public was informed about GMC. Hello I want to add another aspect to this issue which I think is a contributing factor. My purpose is 2 fold.

Confirm the extent of what I believe is the underlying problem and ad to class action to strengthen the claim. Some background first. I am a 50 year old Man who took took apart my first internal combustion engine at the age of 9. A Briggs and Straton 3.5 hp on a Montgomery Wards 19' push mower. At 13 it was a Yamaha YZ 125cc motocross engine spinning 13000 RPM. At 17 it was full professional rebuild with machining that doubled the HP on a Pontiac 400 cid.

Take me at my word at this point I fully understand machine's, Power production and power transmission across a very wide range of industries. I'm into the Twin 2000Hp T-53 Turbine Marine application spinning at 25000 RPM pushing a boat to over 200 MPH. I have not accomplished this yet (for the few who know those that have) I dont want to sound arrogant. Ok enough validation. Question: How many people are having issues with the 2004-2008 3.5 v6 nissan consuming oil regularly.

More then a quart between regular oil change and causing the services engine light to come on. I purchased my 2004 Nissam Maxims in March 2011 at professional auction in Harrisonburg Va and it was brought there by the original selling dealer Stanton Nissan. I was the second owner. It was in extremely nice condition and had 95000 miles on it. It was performing well in all aspects. All fluids had been serviced and the first owner had use the dealer to service the vehicle during their ownership from new purchase. In a short period of time I ran the engine 2 quarts low on oil.

I am not use to checking oil these day for the most part bc I was a Honda 2.4 Vtech owner for 20 years. They dont use oil (ever) even if you shot a whole in the engine and ran it with out oil could you kill that engine. I know I tried. I was doing business with I guy in Dullas VA who owned a large high volume auto repair facility and had been in business since the 60's (2nd Generation) told him what had happened and the first thing that came out of his mouth is those engines use oil everyone knows it.

(accept me) Fast forward I've been out of the auto business for about 15 years so I have not had one of these engine apart yet. Looked at a You Tube Video last night.

(attached below) (Failed) (repaired) Video quality not the best but demonstrates the issue. I believe the root cause of this problem to be one or both o the following reason. 1 Oil drain back after running condition causes momentary low/no oil pressure on restart causing the chain to push the chain tension-er rod back into the tension-er body eventually allowing the guide to drop once the plastic become brittle and the mounting tabs brake from excessive force cause by the dry start up condition 2.

The high oil consumption issue for sure will cause a dry start up in an engine that is not checked regularly (just like I did) I ran the oil out the second time to the point I did not have oil pressure. ( I know say it WTH dude) What you need to know is I use HP to its fullest. I spinn the engine to redline all the time and use the tranmission to its fullest too.

The 3.5 v6 nissan is a powerful engine. For the displacement. I love how wide the power band is but is is a fart compared to the Honda Vtech in terms of reliability at sustained full duty cycle use demands.

There a reason Honda is king in INDY class racing. My Maxima has a automatic (not touching that complaint now) My Coupe EX Accords were all 5 and 6 speed manuals. So make not mistake about it on down shift I was sometime spinning the 2.4L vtech to well over 8000 rpm dropping into a mountain corner so I could sling shot out of the apex with even weight on all 4 tires. I am here to personally testify the Honda 2.4L Vtech is indestructible. 95 mph rev limit 4th to 5th throws on the way to 120MPH all day long, day after day, year after on 10000 mile oil change intervals (later 15000 miles) with little to now oil consumption. (unless I had a leak) or switch back and forth between syntics. (it always stopped qauickly) Im not kidding.

I am 105% serious I did it for years. I have 183 MPH in my record book on a Modified 2004 GSRX Liter bike (for those that done know 04 Suzuki GSXR 1000 cc) and 160 mph in 07 Corvette between traffic light in 35 MPH zone Lucky this is all a lie (for those law enforcement officers) see if you can find the video on traffic cams first. LOL its not there. So I can make the 3.5 v6 Nissan consume its oil very quickly. And that is not normal. I don't care what anyone says. I have rebuilt and blown many engines and I know the kind of demand is required to cause an engine to fail.

I have done it.Period. There is a serious problem with this engine and it not just the timing chains. I fully believe the oil pressure is the real root cause and I believe Nissan had to know. Honda would have never let this engine go into service bc they would have blown it up first. Try that one on Nissan North America. I real world tested your product outside the allowed limits of the written law and this engine is weak. (I recant this statement) ( Yes police officers I'm a lier) I love the sound and it does make good power.

Maybe I will rebuild one and see if I can break its oil addiction. Nissan North America: let me toss your Asian owners a hugh bone. The new automatic is BAD%%%. Now if you can get double the horsepower though it in an affordable production car and keep you engines form using oil you might give Honda a good run for a few years. Now here is the real issue.

If my information is correct and many of these engine do consume excessive oil that would have been know after the first year of production. I will go as far to say I think it would have been identified during the original testing before production began but for sure by the 3rd year of production It had to be know. Its not streach to think there were units pushing 75000 to 100000 miles by year 3 end. I could offer much more opinion but I think it worth my time to see what the response to these thoughts are first COME ON EVERYONE CHIME IN.

I CANT SELL MY CAR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO FIX THIS ISSUE FIRST AND THE VALUE DROP BY 50% IN A YEAR AS A RESULT. 2004 nissan pathfinder. Began consuming oil at 100,000, the dealership claimed it was normal, at 112,000 engine seized. They say i over revved it and a piston hit a spark plug.

However the car has a rev limiter and i was going 20 mph on a residential street. This was either the power valve screw failure or the timing chain. It began clicking right before the engine died. In addition both myself and 2 other shops agree that it is impossible for a piston to hit a spark plug unless the timing chain was broken or there was a piece of metal in the combustion chamber. In addition it seems that a result of dealership maintenance was a broken and never replaced pcv valve, valve covers so full of sludge they needed to be replaced and where not replaced when nissan put them on my new motor.

As well as so much engine oil sludge it almost would not come out of the drain hole.(mobile 1 changed after 3400 miles). I would also recommend going back through your maintenance records.

My vehicle was routinely filled with 4-4.5 quarts when it is clear that the change capacity is 5.25 quarts. As soon as low oil was reported they began filling to 6 quarts. In Australia, HAVE A NISSAN MAXIMA 2005, PROBLEMS WITH THE RATLLE EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT OFF THE ORGINAL OWNER IN 2007. HAVE TAKEN IT TO PARRY NISSAN TOWNSVILLE QLD NUMEROUS TIMES FROM 2007- 2009 TIMES, TOLD THEY COULDNT HEAR THE RATTLE UNDER THE HOOD, DRIVERS SIDE. TOOK THEM FOR A DRIVE, THEN THEY COULD HEAR IT.

PUT IT ON 'THEIR COMPUTER' A FEW TIME SAND SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT'. GOT SICK OF THEM PALMING ME OFF. MY CAR IS NOW AT A STAGE WHERE THE RATTLING NOISE IS UNBEARABLE. I WILL TAKE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION TO THEM AND THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND ASK THEM TO FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. LETS SEE HOW I GO. Me Again, In Australia, QLD Townsville. This is copied from someone else fromm his above concerns 6 days ago it was written, Yes I do have this problem also and it is dreadful as the oil is running out very fast.

Here it is from above form another person but yes its happening to me too. Question: How many people are having issues with the 2004-2008 3.5 v6 nissan consuming oil regularly. More then a quart between regular oil change and causing the services engine light to come on.

I have a 2005 Nissan quest with a 3.5, I am also a gm tech(master ASE certified and silver level gm certified) if gm can recognize a timing chain problem with there 3.6 and creat a special policy to cover the repairs then why doesn't Nissan, In fact took it to a Nissan dealer for this concern.

I am 100% sure that they removed the access cover, compressed the tensioner and slid the chain guide back to where it should be and reinstalled cover and tensioner, I'm not freakin dumb, a chain noise doesn't go away after adding 1 quart of oil, as the Nissan dealer told me the oil needed to be changed and was one quart low. As a trained tech I say bullshit and this company should surly be held responsible if they don't issue a special coverage for there primary and secondary timing chain tensioner and guide failure. I used to think Nissan and think quality, now I think more Saturdays at the shop fixing a P.O.S, that I wish I didn't have to trust to hawl kids around in. I will join a law suit against Nissan only because of how hard they try to get the car out of warrenty befor trying to make repairs, can u say HACK!!!! 2007 Pathfinder with timing chain repair performed under third party extended warranty. So far have avoided this vehicle from completely destroying itself by catching all of it's 'issues' before they self destruct. Re-routing cooling lines to by-pass radiator all together thus avoiding the destruction of my transmission and radiator.

Fuel sending unit repair under extended warranty. May sell this thing before hitting 100,000. To bad because we had a '96 Pathfinder that had NO issues and ran awesome! We sold it at 180,000 miles. No more Nissan's after this model. Honda and Toyota all the way.

Note to future Nissan buyers: BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY!! Nissan seems to be the new Land Rover in terms of excessive repair costs. Just took my 2005 Xterra in for an alignment today and tech heard a noise under the engine and advisor told me timing chain was going bad and would need to replace it as soon as I could and it would cost 1500 dollars or thereabouts.

I was wondering what that noise I heard under my engine was at times. I have over 65k miles on my vehicle. I asked advisor why I was not told about this until now because I've heard the noise for over a year but did not think anything of it because I was never told by the dealer during all my visits for oil changes and inspections of a noise under the engine and he told me they may not have heard it at the time. This better be a recall because now I got to go back next week, drop my car off and pay for a replacement of the chain but after hearing about this I've lost trust in Nissan. I shouldn't have to pay for any of the repairs. I would like to join the suit since I'm not the only one but don't know how.
