| Description of the problem | Heard a ticking noise when starting up my car but subsided after it warmed up gradually over the month it got very loud. Brought it to nissan dealer in pompano beach and they said it was timing chain needs replacement for a cost of 2,300 dollars! I researched this and see that it is a frequently voiced complaint and is happening very prematurely 50 -90 thousand miles.. Ridiculous expensive and dangerous, also ! Need replacement of control arms at a cost of 800 dollars! I also see that this is a common complaint with nissans.... I am generally the only one in the van we are a family o three with three vehicles ,it was garaged kept never use it to haul anything more than a suitcase once in awhile what is my recourse, what can i do to get some assistance so i can repair it before my self or passenger gets killed on the highway when the chain breaks?... |
