Description of the problem	My 2007 xterra with 62k miles began making a whining noise when accelerating . Not sure what it was i took it to the nissan dealer where i get all my major services done . The technician took a look at the problem and within min notify me it is the timing belt chain and guides , known issue for my nissan xterra . When i ask him if he is sure he confirm he does few of this every month and that the problem is so known that nissan has a service bulletin, with the title describing the issue and the symptom ! He has confirm the issue is with the plastic guide that is part of the design . Looking online i find many nissan owners are experiencing the same problem . I am extremely disappointed with the nissan brand and not sure what to do , if i replace the part , will it happen again as it is a design issue ? When buying the car, one of the selling point was that the car does not have a timing belt anymore but a chain! That will most likely engine itself . Calling nissan customer service did not help and i am left with a $2000 repair due to a known issue and bad design.
