Description of the problem	I have a 2005 nissan frontier. During the recent cold mornings i have noticed a buzzing/whinning noise when i started my truck. I took the vehicle into the dealership and later found out i needed a new timing chain. This was a huge surprise since i followed all of the maintenance requirements and only have 59,000 miles. I also found out that this is a known problem with my model year and unfortunately i was less than 20 days outside of my warranty period and nissan would not pick up the cost which were estimate to be $1,300. I called nissan corporate to see if they would still honor the warranty since it was a known problem, however, they said they were strict with their warranties and since i was technically outside of the warranty they would not pick up the costs or help out. The service i received was terrible and after doing some research it sounds like there are many other people out there that have had some same issue with the model year vehicle i have. All nissan told me i could do was save my receipts incase there was a recall in the future.
