ENGINE
I HAD TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AT A COST OF $1550. NISSAN PUT PLASTIC GUIDES FOR THE TIME CHAIN KNOWING THEY WOULD WEAR DOWN CAUSING THE CONSUMER AN ADDITIONAL COST TO REPLACE THIS WAY EARLIER THAN MOST VEHICLES. AFTER THE REPAIR WORK THE NISSAN MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC GUIDES AND THERE WAS ALMOST NOTHING LEFT OF IT. VERY SCARY TO THINK WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PLASTIC GUIDE WORE OUT. THIS COULD OF CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO SOMEONE IF IT HAD COMPLETELY WARN DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN KNEW THIS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS ALL OWNERS OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE FORCES TO PAY THE DELIBERATE COST TO HAVE THE VERY EXPENSIVE OUT OF POCKET REPLACEMENT WORK DONE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY (NOT FIRM) AND PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN LONGER BRAKING DISTANCES UNLESS I PUMP THE PEDAL. THIS OCCURRED AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES AHEAD OF A STOP SIGN AS THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER A BUMP/IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD. THE ABS AND VDC (ANTI-SLIP) ACTIVATED BRIEFLY THEN THE PEDAL GOT SOFT. IT REMAINED IN THIS CONDITION (SPONGY AND EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL) UNTIL REACHED MY DESTINATION. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS OCCURRING THE BRAKE SYSTEM SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED AND IGNITION OFF OVERNIGHT (GOOD PEDAL FIRMNESS AND NORMAL PEDAL TRAVEL AND BRAKING DISTANCES THE NEXT MORNING). HOWEVER, AFTER A SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED (BRAKE GETS SOFT AFTER ABS AND ANTI-SLIP ACTIVATES) THE SPONGY AND LONG PEDAL TRAVEL REMAINS. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED SYSTEM (USED MOTIVE POWER BLEEDER) DID TROUBLESHOOTING ON BRAKE BOOSTER, BOOSTER VACUUM LINE AND CHECK VALVE AND ALL CHECKED FINE. INSPECTED BRAKE LINES FOR BULGES, DAMAGE AND LOOSENESS AT ALL CALIPERS ALL OK. ALL PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED GOOD (NO EXCESSIVE WEAR OR MISSING PARTS). ALSO, DISCONNECTED BATTERY TO SEE IF THE ABS/VDC SYSTEM RESETS. NO CHANGE TO BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND SPONGY FEEL. BRAKE PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED STILL REMAINS.
