Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Going about 30mph, in traffic, with family inside, the vehicle suddenly lost power. It started to shake and vibrate. The engine also started making a loud noise. Drove it to the nissan dealership. They could not find anything obvious and quoted a cost of $250 to simply investigate further. We agreed. They came back and said the engine camshaft and timing chain needs to be replaced. Estimated cost $2500! They could not explain why or how this could have happened to a core engine component. They think some misalignment of the timing chain might have caused it. We didn't have a choice but to get the repairs done. They also had to replace the engine coolant for some reason. My research shows that there have been several timing chain issues reported that have caused cam/engine failures on same/similar nissan models/engines. There is also a class-action lawsuit being prepared to hold nissan accountable for these defects and repairs.
