Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan pathfinder se, 4. 0 liter v6 with 53,000 miles. I just had to replace the timing chains, timing chain guides, and timing chain tensioners. I was driving on the freeway when the problem occurred and had to have the car towed home. The dealer wanted in excess of $2,500. 00, i had the work completed for $1,800. 00 with another source. I have come to find out that this is not an uncommon problem with this vehicle and nissan refused to do anything about it. I contacted nissan north america and was told that while my car has under the 60,000 mile warranty limit, i was over the 5 year limit by 7 months. |
