This vehicle has known timing belt issues. The vehicle starts making a loud noise(whining) that gets louder as I drive faster on any road. This is a common problem and Nissan has not done anything to correct this problem. It will cost over 2400 dollars to fix this problem and Nissan doesn't seem to recall for this issue.
All of a sudden I heard a whining noise that I had never heard in my 2008 Nissan Frontier 4. 0 truck. The noise is new and over the last week or so, it comes and goes. Vehicle went out of warranty 2. 5 months ago at 5 yrs 2. 5 months old. 54500 miles on the truck. The whine pitch increases with engine speed. In neutral as you rev the engine you hear the whine noise go up and down with the rpms. Very disappointing to think I am stuck with a large $1500 timing belt issue with what I thought was a well designed vehicle from a company I thought I could trust high quality.
