The timing chain has caused my vehicle to die on me in the middle of a busy highway I was almost hit by a few cars. I had to drive my car going only 40 MPH all the way becasue that is all it would do. It has a very loud noise and it is unsafe to drive on the road anymore. I have read and nissan should replace these because alot of people have had problems with them yes my car is available for imspection I have regular kept maintenence on it no there were no warning lamps at all just loud noise and then no compression

My engine self destruct because Nissan used cheap made plastic tensioners that shredded metal into my engine causing it to self destruct. Nissan knew about this problem and continued installing these tensioners from 2005-2015. I could have crashed into anything while driving or someone could have hit me if my engine would’ve died while driving. My safety was not prioritized by Nissan. The warning light was a whining noise coming from the engine while startup and pressing on the gas pedal. So they knew the problem existed but didn’t care.

A la semana de marzo 30 del 2019 que saque esta camioneta del dealer happy's auto, llc en hays, ks 67601. Este presento un calentamiento del motor, tube que pagar para que le cambiaran en termostato, pero siguio el problema siempre hasta que me dijeron los del mismo dealer que el motor ya no servia. Di 2200 dollars de pago, dijeron que tenia yo que pagar otro motor mas el costo 11,072 dollars de la camioneta. Es un robo, me entregaron la camioneta con el estereo mal, la refaccion no me la pusieron abajo en su lugar, lo cual causo que se me quebrara un plastico de la cajuela traders. Al final les dije que no queria mas la camioneta y me dijeron que estaba bien pero no me devolverian mi dinero, nunca me ensearon el historial mecanico de la camioneta. La camioneta ya tenia mas de 150000 millas. Ahora auto choices,llc me esta cobrando por una camioneta que no tengo porque ellos se la quedaron, que me fallo siempre y con un interes del 20% anual. Nececito ayuda por favor.
