2008 Nissan FRONTIER Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	1) $1473 to replace timing chain system @ 53,610 miles 2) nissan had issued a service bulletin ntb09-128 revealing a knowledge of the issue on at least 3 models over a 5 year period of time 3) called nissan consumer affairs to check on reimbursement since nissan knew it was a problem. In fairness, they responded within 24 hrs. Only to take less than 1 minute to deny the claim 4) wrote 3 letters (1 per month) to nissan consumer affairs until they contacted me again today 1/13/2016 only to deny the claim once again. I've owned only nissan trucks since 1984 and been very happy with their products and quality. I bought this truck new in 2008 and only had 53,610 miles when this issue came up. I'm thankful i heard the noise and had it fixed before the chain(s) seized and caused major engine damage or even a wreck. I would have thought i had an uncommon problem (bad luck) if it hadn't been documented via the service bulletin. Nissan acknowledged the issue via the service bulletin that covered at least 3 models over a 5 year time span. They now refuse to accept any type of responsibility. A quick internet search reveals several class action lawsuits concerning the timing chain issue. I'm very unhappy with nissan's lack of product support on what was was clearly a quality assurance problem. I will most likely not buy (nor recommend) a nissan product anytime in the foreseeable future.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
