Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, DURING THE DEALER INSPECTION THEY NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE NOISE IS A WHINING SOUND AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF THE NOISE UNTIL THEY STATED THAT ITS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FROM THE RESEARCH I DID THE TIMING CHAIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NON-SERVICEABLE ITEM AND SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN MOTOR CORP IS AWARE OF. NISSAN MOTOR CORP HAD ISSUED TSB'S FOR THIS ITEM AND THEY HAVE EVEN BEEN PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WHY WERE NISSAN OWNERS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE? NOW I AM FACED WITH A $1,500 REPAIR DECISION. FROM WHAT I HAVE ALSO READ IF THIS CHAIN BREAKS IT CAN HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE DRIVER, WHY HAS NISSAN NOT SET UP A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR
