Something stuck in tread. Nail or rock. Might be wheel cover if equiped.
My dealer tells me it will be about $1555. After searching the web, this seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.
To expensive to repair, and will need repair often. 2003-2007 Nissan's I would avoid. Useless warranty, poor dealerships experience. Great idea, poor quality and execution. Nissan seems to take the cheap but look expensive route, all the money goes to the engine sometimes the drivetrain. I own two Nissan's a 2005 Murano and 2005 Pathfinder, both need reapir often to perform at peak level. Will never buy a Nissan again.
Not that familiar with Jeeps, but you could have a collapsed lifter, or you might have a rocker arm out of adjustment.
Well, from some of the used car websites I have found, I am seeing around seven or more different such SUV. Some of the names are as follows: 2005 Nissan Pathfinder SE, 2006 Nissan Murano SE, 2008 Nissan Rogue S,2006 Nissan Murano SE and the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder SE Offroad. I am sure there are many, many different other types, but this is just some of the of my findings that claim them to be 7 seater SUVs. I say claim, as some listings I have found seem to be somewhat bogus. But this website seems faily trustworthy.
It looks like they are very much the same feature for feature. Hopefully you have driven both of them and know which one "feels" better. The Ford seems to be a much more reliable vehicle, with the 2005 Murano not being one of the better Nisson models due to its transmission. So, my vote would be to go with the newer one if the mileage is similar.
I have the same sound in my 2003, Pontiac Grand AM. I am unable to located were it is coming from?
The 3.0L engine had a problem with the lifters that would cause the top end to tick. There is a TSB i believe on how to fix it. If the ticking is coming from the bottom of the engine (sometimes hard to tell) then you might have a Con-Rod knock that starting to show. Eitherway take it to a mechanic for diagnoses.
From what I can find out, it seems to be 6.5".
As it seems, at least in north America, it's coming out at November second.
Go toa Nissan dealership to have the codes read.
I have the same ticking noise and it seems to be louder on hotter days. I was told by the service tech it's due to the synthetic oil being thinner. I have my doubts, but that's what they said. Still researching for the answer myself.
My brother's Daewoo Lanos 2000 (using the stantard E-TECH engine) which I have been working on since about 15,000 miles has since day one had the same ticking in the engine. When I went back to the dealership I was assured that there was no problem with the car and that all of the Daewoo that use the e-tech engine (which is now also used in the Chevy Aveo and the Kia Spectra) have the same characteristic ticking. When I expressed my disbelief the dealer took me around and let me listen to most of the daewoo left on the lot. It is true that they all shared the ticking. It seems poor engineering that creates an engine that ticks. After all the ticking MUST be caused by parts that are tourching, and after a while surely it will wear away. It is worrysome but as of yet I have been unable to find a cure for this praticular problem. If there are comments about this answer please email me: michael_w_dawson@yahoo.com
