Transmission had to be replaced at 65,000 miles. Total transmission failure. Diagnosed by a Nissan dealer and confirmed by an independent transmission shop. The failure was sudden and without warning. Dealer wanted $4,500 to replace it, found independent transmission shop who replaced same trans for $3,500. Nissan corporate said you are on your own. The vehicle is 5,000 miles over the warranty period. After checking, I found this transmission has been a problem for Nissan in earlier model years, (last I checked was 2015) not only for the Pathfinder, but most with this new CVT transmission. So bad , they were sued in a Class action in which they lost. Do your homework. I wish I had done my due diligence and investigated it before hand. But, hindsight is always 20/20. This is my 1st Nissan and my last. Do yourself a favor, don't take my word for it, Google it. If you still decide on a Nissan product, GOOD LUCK. It does have a good air conditioner, but the road noise is awful. I will never buy another vehicle based on a perceived reputation.

After reading so many disparaging reviews I left the Nissan Pathfinder for my last test drive. Earlier the same day I drove the top rated Kia Sorento and the Honda Pilot. I can say that they are all nice in their own way and all noisy when the engine is pushed. If you want a tight feature packed precision machine with a ton of value go with the Kia Sorento. If you love the smoothness of a Lincoln but want a more versatile vehicle go for the Honda Pilot: it feels superb cruising on the highway. HOWEVER if you want that illusive "farfegnugen" the youthful joys of driving a car that literally MOVES with your own body and sense of gravity... Be sure to drive the Nissan Pathfinder before you make up your mind.

We purchase our Pathfinder several months ago for our family of four (plus friends and gear) based upon it spaciousness and fuel economy. We absolutely love it! This car is a joy to drive every day and the third row entry is Great for the kids. Plenty of power and amazing fuel economy, would highly recommend!
