Nissan Almera timing Chain defect

Dear Madam\Sir

I own a Nissan Almera which its engine stalled when I was overtaking on a busy road. It nearly killed me.

After doing some research on the internet I found out this is common problem with the Nissan Almeras which is due to a Renault Timing chain which stretches and causes the engine to stall and not restart.

I took my car to the garage yesterday and they confirmed that it's the timing chain and it'll cost £900-£1000 to fix.

If I know the Almeras had this problem I wouldn't have bought mine.

I really think Nissan should recall the Almeras and fix their problem.
