Description of the problem | This vehicle is a 2005 nissan pathfinder se, 4. 0 liter v6 with 53,000 miles. 60 month warranty expired 7-2010. The timing chain and gears broke apart causing engine to stop running. Normally timing chains and gears should not disintegrate for considerably longer than 53,000 miles. Filed complaint with nissan north america 3-28-11 with no satisfaction. They were unwilling to do anything since the vehicle is past 60 month period and since we never serviced the vehicle at a nissan dealership. Having researched this problem it appears that this is not an uncommon complaint with 2005 and 2006 4. 0 liter v6 motors. Dealer is asking in excess of $2000. 00 to correct the problem. |
