| Description of the problem | I have recently filed a complaint with nissan usa regarding the timing chain rattling noise on my 2007 nissan quest. I was told that the company is not responsible for the repairs since my car was out of warranty. However, the company has issued service bulletin on this issue indicating a major design deficiency with chain guide, tensioner and chains. Timing chain is not supposed to go out at this low miles interval, and noting the various complaints on the web, i would request that this issue being investigated and be made into a recall for these vehicles. This can be a safety issue if the chain were to break while operating the vehicle. |
