NHTSA Complaint #10713533 — 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER

ENGINE NOISE COMING FROM THE SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK MONTHS LATER THEY TOLD ME I HAD LOW OIL IN ENGINE AND COMBINED WITH I WAS PAST THE 60,000 WARRANTY NOW (67,861) THAT I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT I HAD NO RECORD OF IT BEING A PROBLEM SINCE THEY COULDN'T "FIND" ANYTHING WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME. TWO DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST A NOISE WHEN IN FACT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THIS WHOLE TIME. I WAS TOLD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF WHICH WAS ABOVE $1,500.00. *TR
