Description of the problem	Check engine light came on so i took it to an autozone to have the code read. Po463, fuel sending unit. Did some research, called nissan corporate to inform them of the issue and see if i was eligible for extended warranty (wasn't covered). Nissan corporate informed me that i was eligible for ecm relay replacement at no cost at a dealership, so i took the car to a dealership that quoted me lowest on the fuel sensor repair. They asked if i had other issues and i told them that my engine sometimes sounded like an rc car. They offered to look into it, called this afternoon after completing work on sensor and ecm relay to inform me that my timing chains were shot and in need of immediate replacement. Did some more research and found this is a frequent issue in nissan cars, decided to file a report.
