Started car in the morning and it started misfiring very badly. Flashing check engine light. Immediately pulled over and shut engine off. Had it towed to my shop I use they hooked it up to computer and it was diagnosed as a loose timing chain. Basically timing chain replacement This is rediculous only has 129k miles. They claim timing chain and components are good til 300k with regular maintenance. This suv since new has had synthetic mobile 1 oil changed every 3500 miles. There was a voluntary recall on this issue. Why was it ever taken down Now I’m paying the car payment on a car I cannot drive. Till I spend $5000 to have all that replaced

Timing belt/chain failure - Recalled and repaired by dealership. When picking up my vehicle from the dealer for the above mentioned repair I was notified that I need new Catalytic Converter's as now the Service Engine light was coming on. The Service Engine light was NOT coming on prior. After an hour or two researching the CAT issue online I have found hundreds if not more instances with the same issue for this vehicle. A bad CAT can cause numerous issues with vehicle performance to vehicle fires which could cause accidents putting not only passengers but other motorists at risk. And then there's the damage to the environment. If the timing belt warranted a recall for causing misfires...etc. why wouldn't the manufacturer include parts of the system effected by the part being recalled? Timing Belt causes misfires --> Misfires cause CAT damage/failure, but CAT not included in the recall.

The vehicle was completely dead and would not start when battery was jumped. Battery was replaced once it was discovered that the original battery was completely dead. Once the vehicle started , the engine light was visible on the dash. The vehicle was making a very loud humming sound coming from under the hood. The sound got louder and intensified as the rpms increased.

The service engine light came on, and I brought the vehicle to thousand oaks infiniti where I regularly have the vehicle serviced. The diagnosis was a bank 2 catalytic convertor failure. Based on my research, this is a very common problem with the car and it is just a matter of time that the other catalytic convertor will also need to be replaced.
