Consumer Description

TOOK MY 07 MAXIMA WITH 73K MILES TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR A WHINING NOISE I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS UNDER MFG. WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THE NOISE IS FROM THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES. A REPAIR OF ALMOST $2000.00. NOW I FIND THAT THERE IS A TSB ON THIS FROM YEARS AGO. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2009, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS SINCE THIS DEFECT LEFT NOT REPAIRED COULD CAUSE THE MOTOR TO CUT OUT AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO WILL DESTROY THE MOTOR SINCE IT"S NOT A CLEARANCE ENGINE. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE TO THE LETTER. NISSAN IS KNOW FOR THIS ENGINE AND THE REASON I BUY THEM IS THEY USE TIMING CHAINS NOT BELTS.
