What owners wrote
My new 2007 nissan maxima was "bucking" at 40 MPH & 60 MPH. The service engine soon came on. Later that day, the vehicle stalled out on me 3 times. The next day I was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership. They indicated that it was the cam shaft. The next day I was able to pick up my vehicle. However, I couldn't get it out of the dealership parking lot after stalling 3 times each time I put it into drive.
During a routine oil change, the dealership reported that the secondary timing chain is making excessive noise. They recommend I replace the secondary timing kit for $1,939.52 as soon as possible.
