Used 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Consumer Reviews
2014 Pathfinder with transmission and brakes issues
Hello, I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in october 2013 and the following day it started shuddering at around 20mph and the steering wheel would start vibrate at 50mph. Then I had a weird feeling when using the brakes and they told me it was normal I told Nissan, they did not mention the issues the 2013 model had... I had to find out by myself online...I should have done my homework before... I also noticed a loss of power when accelerating and the gas mileage is between 15 and 19 after driving it for 3 months. I received a recall notification a few weeks ago for the barkes and my car is going to the shop again tomorrow. I had to fight to get a rental car while they work on it...
Seven Years and still running perfect
I have been using Pathfinder Platinum for 7 years and it has no issues. I kept it maintained regularly with the original nissan dealer. Transmission, engine and driveline everything is running good so far. I read some reviews saying it skids on turns, it only happens when 4x4 is on because when turning with 4x4 all wheels works same speed and their turning radius is different.

Excellent value for the money
So, far we've been very impressed with our SL Pathfinder. The Tech Package seems like a worthwhile option with the Navigation as well as the Bose Waveguide system. The SUV drives like a car; extremely smooth and capable. Some reviews take a shot at the Pathfinder's V6 as being sluggish, but let me tell you, the car has no problems accelerating quickly up to 80mph when passing; its very responsive. Front and back seat room is ample, and the cargo area isn't shabby either. The leather seating and surfaces are soft, and supple. I'm not a fan of some of the plastics used, but hey, its not an Infiniti. Provided the car holds up mechanically, the Pathfinder will be ours for years to come.
Good when its working
Our 2014 Pathfinder is great - when its working. However, the reliability since we've owned it has been horrible. It is now 2021 so the vehicle is now 7-8 years old approaching 100k miles. We have had major problems throughout our ownership. Brakes and rotors constantly going bad early. Exhaust system deteriorated much early than expected and had to have major repairs. The A/C had to be replaced. Now the front struts have deteriorated to the point the vehicle is undrivable, and while investigating that our trustworthy repair shop found a rear broken spring. The base design of the vehicle is good and when its working it is fine. But it seems the parts used in building these vehicles were the worst of the worst, cheapest most unreliable parts I've ever seen in vehicles my wife and I have experience in our combined 100 years on this earth.
Overall pleased. Love our car.
There are multiple blind spots/ poor visibility. We personally have had major problems with our transmission but the dealership support has been very good at dealing with and paying for the repairs and replacement though it has already been a three month process.
