Cold Start Rattling!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Postby baironhorse » Fri Oct 21, 2011 7:42 pm

Hi All
This is my first Pathfinder....Now that the weather is starting to get colder I have noticed in last couple of months when i start Truck in morning cold start there is a rattling sound coming for under the hood and then goes away for rest of day until next morning...i figured it was a heat sheild so waited till next oil change and brought it into the dealer for a check up...This is what they tell me:
" The Rattling noise is a normal timing chain/ liftir noise being heard on start"
Is this true? Does it happen to rest of you? Should I be concerned???Need more info on this!! Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
BAI

its under warranty. There is a TSB for the timing chain, tell them to fix it.
