Timing Chain Lawsuit - 2004 - 08 Maximas

Car Complaints one of my favorite websites:

http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/20...nissan-lawsuit

Here are some of the lawsuit’s key points:
  • Numerous parts in these tensioning systems are defective, including the primary timing chain tensioner, primary timing chain guide, secondary timing chain tensioners and secondary timing chain tensioner shoes. Basically the whole darn thing.
  • Nissan has known about the defect since 2004 when they sent Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) to dealers describing the problem.
  • Dealers were told to only offer “goodwill” adjustments when owners specifically asked for it. However, most owners have no idea of the danger lurking under their own hoods.
  • The affected vehicles include the 2004–2006 Nissan Altima (with 2 VQ35 engine), 2004–2009 Nissan Quest, 2004–2008 Nissan Maxima, 2005–2010 Nissan Frontier (with VQ40 engine), 2005–2010 Nissan Xterra, 2005–2010 Nissan Pathfinder.

I hope they expand this to PA! From the article:

"Currently the class-action lawsuit includes all current and former Nissan owners and lessees who reside in New York, Florida, Maryland and New Jersey."

Not holding my breath about the outcome though.
