Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine tapping noise in engine on cold start as well as chirping noise. we noticed a tapping noise in the engine on our 2006 xterra. it has 14,000 plus miles. the noise has now become more pronounced everyday. in the morning when we start the vehicle we've heard the noise since march 30, 2007. i have documented the vehicle's problem on video, and even showed it to the service manager. also, i have gone to nissanhelp.com and found some solution and symptoms to my problem. however, even with video and documentation proof the service manager and dealership have ignored to fix the vehicle. the service manager wants to hear it live for himself before doing anything. this morning the second in command service manager told me that i was not welcomed to the dealership anymore. i told him i bought the vehicle here, it's under warranty, there is no way i'm going to drive out of my way to get another dealership to fix the problem. the problem still exists. i called another dealership in town and sure enough there seems to be many issues with the chirping of belt or tension item related. the tapping noise i believe is as noted on nissanhelp.com. *ak
