Consumer Description

THE CAR MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS 2500. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD OF A TIMING CHAIN GOING BAD WITH A CAR WITH THIS MILEAGE. I AM VERY UPSET LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS ON THEIR CARS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT THEIR COST. *TR
