Amazing responsive acceleration. This vehicle is faster stronger and cheaper than honda , ford or toyota models. Along with the superior performance you get 6000lb towing capacity. It wont be in the shop except for oil changes because you are driving all over the place in it.

Transmission issues

2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
33 of 35 people found this review helpful
I have had this vehicle for 10 months now and it's been in the shop four times for the same issue. After driving my vehicle for a while, it cuts out on turns and will not accelerate. I have had four different people in the vehicle with me that will attest to this occurring. I love the vehicle style, aside from several minor squeaking issues in the moonroof and back panel and behind driver's seat. I guess I just got a lemon! Nissan North America will not do anything about it, however. so be prepared for a fight when you have an issue and they won't help. The CVT transmission is crap!

Horrible and unsafe

We traded in a 2008 Nissan pathfinder for a brand new 2017 pathfinder, since we loved our first one so much. What a huge mistake that was. Within the first year the entire transmission needed to be replaced The following year It started having electrical issues. Shortly thereafter all of the tires in all 4 brakes had to be replaced with less than 50000 miles on the car and 2 full years of owning it. Just recently the car started shutting off on us as we were driving! I took it back in and they said they could not replicate the problem. Not even 6 months later it started doing it again and the rear brakes started squealing and causing the rear end of the car to shake. We had just put brand new brakes on the car less than a year and a 1/2 ago. So another $700 later the car needed a new battery, rear brakes, and rear rotors. This car is a definition of lemon.

2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

I traded a 2015 Pathfinder for the 2018 Model. Ride is much improved with greater noise reduction (what I didn't like about the 2015), and the power is always there when I need it. Living in the Midwest, you just don't know what the weather will bring, from driving rains, gusty winds, or heavy snow and that can be all in one week. The Pathfinder does great in all of these conditions and if you have ever driven on Michigan roads, you need a vehicle that can handle the lack of maintenance that we experience. Haven't had a vehicle problem on the first Pathfinder and don't anticipate having one with this Pathfinder.

Luxury "Minivan" in SUV configuration

test drove used 2016 base QX60 with low miles side by side at same dealership for comparison, fit and finish on Infiniti noticeably better and comfort subtly better. the used Infiniti at ~$3K less than a new loaded Platinum PF with most (maybe all?) of the safety features of brand new QX60 = PF won. the fit, finish and ride were nice but not differentiated enough to be an offsetting factor for this consumer. comparing the Platinum PF to a brand new QX60 (which we did not test drive) with similar options, the ~$10K difference was not enough to justify. advise to use online tools to get best price (bought for WAY under MSRP after all rebates included), essentially exactly the Edmunds price quoted by dealrship for the new car and using an unbiased condition assessment of our trade-in based on Edmunds value as well.
