Description of the problem	Heard a high pitched whining noise coming from the engine of my nissan 2008 crew cab 4 wheel drive frontier. Made an appointment to have the issue evaluated at the same nissan dealership where i purchased the vehicle (nissan of atlantic city - formerly admiral nissan). I purchased the used frontier in june 2011; approximate mileage was 40 - 41k. I also purchased an extended warranty at that time - 48 months, 48 thousand miles (expiration 6/15/15). After evaluating the problem, a nissan service manager told me that the noise was coming from the timing chain and its components - cost of repair $1900. 00 - 2000. 00 plus 7% sales tax. I asked him if the repair was covered by the extended warranty i purchased. He said no! He informed me that my extended warranty had expired for mileage; i was over by a few hundred miles. This is an existing problem. Nissan had know of, and been dealing with this issue well before i purchased my 2008 frontier in june 2011. However, this information was never made available directly to the consumer. When the engine whine first began it was low - barely noticeable, but the more i drove the worse it got. If i had been aware of the service bulletins sent to the dealers about this issue, i would have had the vehicle checked out before the warranty expired; the extended warranty had a $50. 00 deductible. My final cost for the repair on 3/28/15 was $1974. 16. Nissan of america is at fault and so is the dealership - nissan of atlantic city. They are both responsible because they both had the information about existing timing chain problems and failed to disclose it.
