Not worth the trouble

This is the first time I have ever written a review on any product I have bought, but felt strongly enough to hopefully sway others to be careful in their purchase. I bought my pathfinder in February with 21,000 miles. I specifically asked the salesman about prior transmission issues with pathfinders and was told it was completely resolved. At 31,000 miles it's at the dealership with catastrophic failure of the transmission. I'll get it back on Monday and trade for a new vehicle. There will never be a Nissan parked in my driveway again. I have no confidence in their ability to build a reliable vehicle. The ride was good. The interior fit our family needs. It is a mechanical nightmare.

My 2014 pathfinder needed a new transmission 6 weeks after i purchased it. 9 months later during routine servici g they found that bolts in the brake system were missing they say from the factory. Wouldnt let me drive it because it was so dangerous. Cant wait for my lease to end! I bought a nissan for peace of mind..little did i know!

Numerous Repairs for a Brand New Vehicle!

One month after I bought this brand new, the car would not start in my driveway and had to be towed to the dealer. We were going on a road trip and had to cancel. Had to bring in the vehicle several times to the dealer for recall issues. Today, I took it to the dealer for 20,000 miles service before leaving for another road trip. Vehicle was found to have a major transmission problem and had to be in the dealership for more than a week. Dealer gave us a small rental car, which makes me feel queasy for a long road trip. I wish I had bought a Toyota or Honda instead. Once I get back the vehicle I will trade it in for a Toyota but I will be out by several thousands of dollars. I will never buy a Nissan again!

This SUV, shudders, stubble's, jitters, SHUDDERS, zigzag, feels like an old school Cadillac or dump truck, to turn a corner it literally feels like it's going to tip over, I HATE IT

Worst car I've ever owned! Buyer be ware

I purchased a used 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in 2016. It ran really well for a few years, until it didn't. It began to "sputter" and then I lost all electrical power....ON THE FREEWAY!!! FortunatelyI was able to coast to the side of the road. Had it towed to the dealership, and the guy from AAA told me he sees at least two or three a week that do the same thing. Spent $4,000 to have the electrical issue fixed, and that seemed to do the trick, for a bit. Then, a few weeks later the the car died again, in line at a McDonald's (don't judge). The dealership told me it was a transmission issue. This set me back another $6,000. From that point forward I had to have the gear in Drive at a certain position, otherwise the gears wouldn't "catch" and the engine would rev but not move the car forward. I was told that somehow this was my fault. Then, it broke down a third time. Had it towed to the dealership...again. Fortunately it was under repair warranty. Finally was ae to purchase a new Toyota Venza 2021. Not only will I never buy another Nissan (of any kind), I will only stick with what I know, which is Honda and Toyota. Post Script: The gas mileage is nothingless than awful in that particular model of Nissan. $77 every four days to fill up, was killing me.
