• Recall 2010373 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain vehicles the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ecm) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ecm relay may allow silicon vapor to form and over time the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ecm relay contact due to arcing. In certain instances, this oxidation could cause engine performance issues (hesitation, rough engine idle, slow start/no-start condition), and engine stalling at low engine speeds which may result in a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the engine control module (ecm) relay.

Ok rattling around the front of the motor .Then it just stopped then milky substance starts running out. I reported it to north america nissan and they told me to take my truck to the nearest nissan dealer and they would take care of the problem.The timing chain tensioner guide was on a service bulletin (ntbo9- 128)

The timing chain tensioner guide failed, causing the timing chain to rub a hole into the block. The local dealership, ceranti oakes nissan, is aware of the problem, as well as the timing tensioner recall submitted by the manufacturer, and initially suggested that i haul the truck to the dealership, at my own expense, for repairs. After having the truck abour a week, the dealership finally returned calls claiming that they can not make repairs under the manufacturers recall bc it's not covered under the recall. I have made numerous phone calls resulting in no assistance from customer service to resolve the issue. This problems has been a great inconvenience and caused our family issues getting back and forth to work, which inevitably has cost my family a great deal in lose of the only source of income.

My truck suddenly had issues shifting. I went online and saw there was a lawsuit and common issues with the radiator and transmission. I was not notified about the lawsuit or the issue from nissan. I also called a mechanic and they said it is a common issues and it would be about $6,000 to replace the transmission and radiator. This is unacceptable as nissan should have notified customers so that we could have had it fixed before it turned into a major issue.
