Class action lawsuit currently underway against Nissan USA
The car started making a rattling sound and engine sounded bad. Took it to the dealership and they said the timing chain guide is worn out and it would be $1700 to fix it. Checked online and it seems that it is a common problem that occurs with the 3.5L V6 engine and there is even a lawsuit against Nissan for this.
