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

I am very dissapoinded in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE. I traded a 97 GMC Jimmy, and I am sorry I did. On the Nissan, the exhaust system gave out, a coil burnt out, all four O2 sensors have been replaced, and the check engine light will not stay off. I even changed the spark plugs, that did not solve the check engine problem. This vehicle has failed inspection two of the three years I have owned it, and I service it by the book! The gas mileage is awfull ( I do 55 to save fuel) and it still costs $70 dollars a week to fill it! Below 35 degrees,the windows will not roll up without me pushing on them, and below 10 forget it. I will never buy a Nissan again.

At 60K miles, this vehicle is amazingly problematic. We have taken good care of it, but I have lost track of all the electrical problems. I will try to recount them: - The ignition won't come on reliably. I drove it to work today and when I tried to go to lunch it would not start. I was stuck with a buck and a vending machine. - Rear window won't roll up from front switch. - Gear shifter won't budge from park when applying the brake. - Engine light keeps coming on because of the electronic fuel injection controls (bad connector).

The Pathfinder is an easy driving vehicle; handles well on the road, including in turns (better than anything else we test drove). Going up into mountains and canyons, towing a SeaDoo (about 1,000 pounds), camping "stuff" on the top and inside the car, is no problem. Plenty of spare energy and torque. The Pathfinder comes with a lot of standard items that are GOOD; i.e. disk changer and sound system, running boards, tow setup, extra 12V plugs, etc.
Never again

This was my second Pathfinder after having a 1992. Not the same company anymore. Corporate does not stand by their product. Exhaust broke at the flange which is common I'm told after just 4 years! Corporate would not pick up any of the cost and I'm stuck with a $850 service bill. O2 sensors and check end light is a nightmare. Rims do not make a good seal on the tires. Faulty struts on this year model. Bose cd changer broke twice.
Love It!!!

I bought my Pathfinder used 5 years ago- it was love at first test drive. I do admit I baby my cars, but it's handled 6 hour road trips like a breeze. I've also towed my husband's Honda Accord short distances when it broke down. This thing is a tank. I've only ever had minor O2 sensor problems as far as engine problems go, but we bought the platinum warranty & everything's been covered. Unfortunately I'm trading it in- expecting baby #3 and 3 carseats just won't fit!
