One problem related to timing tensioner has been reported for the 2008 Nissan Maxima. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Nissan Maxima based on all problems reported for the 2008 Maxima.
The timing chain tensioners prematurely wear, causing a whining noise as the chain rubs against the tensioner while the vehicle is turned on. This wear eventually grinds through the tensioner resulting in complete engine failure which can lead to a crash or injury. This began to happen for me just outside of the manufacturer warranty, and is a costly repair for a part of the engine that should not have to be maintained within the engines expected lifetime.
