Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problems of the 2007 Nissan Quest

My van has 120k miles on it. For the past one year, I have been dealing with a rattle sound in the engine. It comes on a cold start and would go away after a couple of minutes. My mechanic took a look and said these Nissan engines have a known issue with the timing chain. Lately the rattle sound keeps coming for more than 5 minutes. I am afraid this will cause some other problem in the engine that would stall the engine while running on the road. Nissan should issue a recall and fix this timing chain issue, which it already knows about.

Lately, when I start the car, there is a rattling sound coming from the engine. It comes for a couple of minutes and then it goes away. I have noticed it on cold starts. My mechanic says, it could be the timing chain issue. When I search the Nissan forums, I see a lot of people having this issue. The cost to fix this is around 2000. 00. I am not sure if I should fix this now or wait for Nissan to issue a re-call for this. Since the rattling sound goes away after a couple of minutes, one part of me tells me I can continue to drive like this. Another part tells me what if the timing chain fails in a busy highway causing a crash. Please review and make Nissan issue a re-call for this safety issue.

I purchased my 2007 Nissan Quest se January of 2014 and after about a year of ownership, the van started to make the now infamous timing chain rattle noise upon cold starting the van. It would eventually go away after 10 minutes or more, but its really annoying to have to listen to this loud noise every time I start my van, and Nissan should be held accountable and offer a free permanent fix to this problem.

The rattling noise began at 45,000 miles. When I accelerate, a rattling chain sound is heard from the engine area. I currently have 50,000 miles on my 2007 Nissan Quest. It has to be replaced or it will eventually do damage to the engine. It's an 8 hr process. It's estimated at $1800 for the repair. The timing chain needs to be replaced and there's no recall. There is a repair bulletin out but no recall. The speedometer reads 20-25mph when it's at "parked" and sometimes when the engine is turned off. I am driving 60mph on a local road and 100mph on the freeway. The rear blower turns on by itself when I turn on the engine. I have to shut off the engine and the blower turns off. The front blower is off during the entire time. These are repairs that have been experienced by other owners and yet there's no recall, only service bulletins.

Around 85000 miles a rattling noise appear, it was diagnosed as the timing chain, I was told at the dealership that they have a problem with the timing chain but they do not have a recall. It cost over $2000 to repair a problem known to the Nissan company and they won't do a recall.
