Took car to dealer because of engine tapping noise. Empire Nissan replaced transmission as a fix. Picked up car at dealer, tapping noise still present. Contacted Nissan Corporate, they sent a Master Tech to check on my car. I was told the noise is normal Variable Timing noise. No remedy. I am stuck with a car that stalls and sounds like a diesel, but that's considered normal by Nissan. I waiting for my car's engine to blow-up soon from all this. I guess Nissan is too because my car is at 56,000 miles now. I' sure they're waiting for me to hit 60,000 miles so they won't have to cover the repair.
Engine noise from any car at 40,000 is unacceptable. The techs at Empire Nissan say this is a "normal" sound. The noise has gotten louder since then. This noise began after I had Camshaft Position Sensor Failures at 39,000 miles.
