Timing Tensioner problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier

Was told the timing chain and tensioners need to be replaced found out this is a very common problem with Nissans and they will do nothing to remedy the situation.

Timing chain, guide and tensioner must be replaced.

Timing chain guides, tensioners, guides, shoes and seals, witch made nose the hole time I had the truck and the dealer never said anything tell after my warranty expired.

Gas gauge quit working goes between half and quarter tank and stops, letting you run out of gas. Next item is timing chain howl on cold starts for over a year now then I read bulletin that chain tensioners are wearing and causing timing chain failures and Nissan has never notified owners I was just in to dealer about gas gauge problem about 2 weeks ago and no one mentioned timing chain problem.

Engine whine started before warrenty expired but thought it was a power steering pump or pulley bearing. Progressively got worse, so looked it up on youtube & engine whine videos are widespread - turns out this is a timing chain issue that Nissan knows about, but declined to tell me before the warranty ran out. They have done all the maintenance so they surely heard this engine whine. They even have a bulletin out for the repair of this "defect". The timing chain tensioner shoe is too soft & is wearing out prematurely. This job will cost approximately $1200 & I am currently having the repairs made. I was in talks with Nissan factory reps, & she will not help me any with these repairs, even though it was doing this before the warranty expired, I just didn't know what this noise was. There should be a factory defect recall so all the owners like me could get reimbursed, & so the people nearing warranty expiration could be forewarned to get the repairs done. This is the q40 v-6 engine.
