Default 2005 Nissan Pathfinder Whining from Timing Chain Area

I’ve had this truck from new, and at about 40,000 miles I started hearing a buzzing/whining sound from the engine. At 50,000 miles, I mentioned it to the dealer and he said it was normal wear and tear. Of course, there was no mention of this conversation on the service report. Now the truck has 61,000 and I was in (again) for the poorly designed windows and check engine light, and he mentions that the timing chain tension is off and could jeopardize the engine. Are you kidding me! He estimates the cost to be $3,000+. And oh, by the way, you're not covered becasue you're now out of warranty! Now I have to put my maintenance records together and submit a case to Nissan. I hope they cover the work, but they most likely won’t. I'm just ready to sell and buy a used Toyota, Chevy, MBZ...anything! Any advice would be helpful. Is there a notice I can get my hands to add to my case.
