Consumer Description

WE LEARNED TODAY THROUGH OUR MECHANIC THAT THE RATTLING NOISE WE'VE BEEN HEARING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "TIMING CHAINS." OUR MECHANIC SAYS THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE DISCOVERED ONLINE THERE WAS A RECENTLY SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT A RECALL BY NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. WHAT IS THE RECOURSE FOR OTHERS WHO ONLY RECENTLY LEARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOW FACING HIGH REPAIR COSTS?
