Worse Nissan Ever!!!!

2013 Nissan Pathfinder SV 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

I owned so many Nissan cars, trucks and suv's but I was so disappointed with 2013 Pathfinder. I bought my 2013 Pathfinder SV at first I was enjoying it but after I hit more than 1,000 miles it started shuddering and losing power. All the moulding under the door became loose and when I'm driving on the freeway it was vibrating so hard that the sound inside the cabin is so annoying. I brought it back to the dealer for them to fix the shuddering and losing power but the mechanic said "there's nothing wrong with. After three months of driving it I finally trade it in for the Titan which I should have bought in the first place.....

Traded 08 Subaru Outback for a 13 Pathfinder

Traded up to a Pathfinder SL Premium for more size and more power over the 08 Outback. Love the power and don't feel the speed with the quiet ride & lack of shifting gears. I really needed the extra space in the rear more than third row seating, but it's handy when the office goes out for lunch or on a site visit. The extra shoulder & hip room is appreciated! I got the arctic blue metallic - a darker medium blue - with black interior. I'm driving in the mountains on open, winding country roads, getting 20-21 mpg. Got the car for $300 under Invoice plus Kelley Blue Book value on our trade.

I have had my 13 Pathfinder now for approx 6 months and 5000 miles and everything is running beautifully. The leather seats are very comfortable, especially on long trips. The AC is been outstanding during these last few weeks of high heat. I barely notice the CV transmission now, handling is responsive in the city and on the highway. Overall mileage is much better than my last SUV - a Mazda CX9 V6. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

I've loved my Nissan Pathfinder's luxury, space, and look. That said, a lot of things have gone wrong with it. Nissan has 'planned obsolescence' down to a science. Headlights burned out too early, electric window motor died, sun visor stopped holding up against the ceiling when not in use, oh and the CVT transmission blew at 80k, then again at 125k. These are just the issues I can remember. I wanted to get at least 150k out of this car. When I look up 2023's I'm still reading about transmission issues and owner regrets. Looking at a different car maker this time around.
