No more Maxima after this! Any fix about this noise?
I have spent $4500 on a tranny Nissan should have done a recall on and now I have a ticking noise that sound like lifter noise that the service tech and the dealership told me is pratically normal. I can't live with that noise and you hear it when the car idles and during acceleration. And the ticking gradually gets louder. What the heck is nissan doing?! I just had my timing tensior replaced and the noise is not my timing chain which has also been replaced

Well it sounds like a timming chaing guide/tensior issue your hearing,or like you said a lifters.
Where are you located ? the reason I ask is because if this just recently happen and your somewhere in these states getting covered by snow, that could be due to the weather.
They are sticking due to the cold weather, I had 2 people call me this moring about their 6th gen issues, (being sluggish) its the temp basically.
Also check the level of oil on your dipstick , added another quart of oil if its mid-low.
Mines ticks because im burning up oil on my old motor, as soon as I added a QT the ticking goes away but it only tickes on Idle.
Im thinking its just the weather / state your in right now.
EDIT : also what year is your car ?

If this is the case then why did the dealership act like they didn't know what the problem was. Also could I buy the kit and get a mechanic to install it or would you let the ds do it?

when did you change the timming chain tensoir ? if it was something recent the past 6 months go back and tell them its making noise after they change it,
if they dont agree to it , call the 1-800 nissan # to complain.
if they were in there already they should have replace that as well.
if its something over a year ago then your pretty much on your own.
it gets pricey because of the time it takes.

check your oil and make sure nissan filled it correctly. I get this when I am low on oil. Goes away when you fill back up. If it is not the timing chain, it's probably low on oil. I never let anyone change my oil without checking it directly after they do it and 100 miles or a fillup later. not tightening filters and oil pan drain plug and not filling all the way. Never trust a mechanic from a dealer. No offense to those of you who do their job right. They want you to keep coming back that's for sure.
