| Description of the problem | Timing chain guides are worn and are now unstable and can cause the timing chain to break which will ruin engine. Nissan knows about this problem and has changed to a new part in 2010. It is ridiculous that they are trying to charge me 1500 dollars to replace a part that cost 2 dollars when they knew about it when i brought it in so many times to diagnose!!!!! There are countless timing chain issues with other owners thenewx. Org you will find tons of complaints. |
