| Description of the problem | My van has 120k miles on it. For the past one year, i have been dealing with a rattle sound in the engine. It comes on a cold start and would go away after a couple of minutes. My mechanic took a look and said these nissan engines have a known issue with the timing chain. Lately the rattle sound keeps coming for more than 5 minutes. I am afraid this will cause some other problem in the engine that would stall the engine while running on the road. Nissan should issue a recall and fix this timing chain issue, which it already knows about. |
