Used 2005 Nissan Pathfinder Consumer Reviews
Fuel Sending Unit
Just paid $560 for the fuel sending unit and Nissan must do a recall as they know it is a problem part. If I don't get reimbursed in the next 6 months I will trade it and never buy another Nissan again. Also have problems with the service engine light going off when no problem exists and that cost me $50 on 3 different occasions.
Lacks Performance
I previously owned a 2001 Pathfinder which was flawless, just too small. I upgraded to the new 2005 Pathfinder and I am very dissatisfied with the performance. Every time I accelerate past 20 miles per hour I hear rattling noises from the transmission. Once on the highway it runs well but cruising moderately through traffic is a nightmare. I like the spaciousness of the vehicle but in all honesty I am dissatisfied with performance.

Creating a path for others to follow
I've owned this vehicle for about a week or so and I absolutely love it. I traded my beloved 02 Altima for the Pathfinder and I can honestly say I don't have any regrets. I bought the LE 2WD drive model. My vehicle has all of the amenities to include: leather/dual power seats, sunroof, navigation system and on and on and on. Unquestionably, for the money there's not a vehicle that comes close to this one. I test drove the Acura MDX, Toyota 4 Runner, and Lexus GX 470 and chose the Nissan Pathfinder. This vehicle is a fine representation of Nissans commitment to excellence. Lastly, MSRP for this particular vehicle was $35,650 and I paid around $33,000. So, dont be afraid to haggle.
more power
i have a 99 pathfinder and the new pathfinder is so much more enjoyable especially with the addtional power. The all wheel drive was excellant on the ice and snow, seems even better than the 4wd
New Pathfinder too Noisy
I bought a new Pathfinder in November 2004. I had a 2001 Pathfinder which was too small so I was happy to upgrade to the new Pathfinder. I loved the spaciousness and exterior and the test drive was good. However now it makes more noise than my old station wagon. Whenever I accelerate past 20 miles I hear a rattling noise from the transmission. I spoke to my neighbor down the street who also has a Pathfinder and she is experiencing the same problem - noise during acceleration. I am extremely dissatisfied. I will never buy a Pathfinder again.
