Never Again

2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Various sensors always seem to be burning out, especially O2 sensors. I've gone thru 5 in the last 2 years. I also had the CD changer replaced 4 times. If you're going to buy one of these get the extended warranty! I wish I had splurged and bought the MDX. At 35,000 I got backed into by a dump truck and it has never ridden right since. Can't really blame the vehicle for this, but after 8 trips you would think the dealer could fix the horrible vibration. I'll keep this as a beater and buy a fun car to drive.

I bought this Pathfinder with 46k miles and love it, it is as tight as when it was new; has the Navigation system, but really didn't need want it, but nice to have. It is fun to drive and I can't get it off my wife. Hopefully this summer she will want here Acura TL S- Type back, so I can drive it. My Pathfinder has the entertainment system also and my kids love it.

I love this car!! The sporty V6 blows away the competition in its class. It has more horsepower than some small V8's that I have seen. The ride is smooth, but handles like an SUV. Driver position is very comfortable, and the LE model is loaded with nice features. Excellent choice!!

Last Nissan I'll Buy

Vehicle is fun to drive, ride is truck- like. Assembly was top-notch, but quality of parts is disappointing. Reliability is dismal, it has a great engine but everything else has been poor quality. Rear suspension problems and failures, electronics (six O2 sensors in 3 years, cd changer died 1 month out of warranty), brakes squeal, leather color flakes off, you name it. Vehicle spends as much time in the shop as it does on the road.

I've owned this pathfinder since it was new and have had very few problems. The alarm goes off for no reason fairly regularly and the rear latch isn't great...you really have to slam it to make it latch. Other than that all I've done is changed fluids and brake pads. Overall I would say it's the most reliable car I've ever owned and it performs better than any other SUV I've ever driven. The sound system is excellent as well. I don't love the car, but I would advise anyone to get one.
