Timing chain issues, 2017 Y62

[SHANE61331]

Hi All,

Has anyone out there had any timing chain issues with their Y62, a little story, I have a 2017 Y62 that has done 90.000 kilometers, the other day, I went to re start it after going to the shops for 5 minutes & it sounded like it was trying to start on the wrong stroke (timing) and would not start, I tried again to start it & it started fine, this happened the same the next day. The day after the check engine light came on, so I took it to my local Nissan dealer & they put the scan tool on it & told me that there was a timing issue, the bottom of the engine not in time with the top of the engine, they also said that it was out of warranty & Nissan may not warrant it, they also said that they suspect it may be a timing chain issue, stretched timing chain, they re set the computer & told me to drive it till the check engine came back on, so 2 days latter the same thing happened again. I took it back to them & they have now had it for over 2 weeks, every time that I ring them & ask about my car, they that they still have not heard back from Nissan. Has anyone else out there had any issues like this, please reply, as I can not find anything on the net about any similar issues.

According to the above mob it came with a 3 year 100,000 k warranty. If you bought it from a dealer, surely you get some warranty?
