The timing chain assembly has plastic guides. One of the guides broke (we heard a constant rattling noise when the engine ran). It turns out that to fix the plastic piece, the entire engine had to be disassembled, costing over $2000!. Beware that our mechanic warned that this is being reported with this engine (and with Altima engines as well), and that the same labor intensive work will need to be performed to fix things like the the water pump. Nissan has extended the warranty on this model from the standard 36,000 to 60,000 miles because of a slew of other problems (first year model). Of course, this happened 4000 miles after the warranty expired.
