2019 pathfinder 35 367 kms. Left head gasket went. Covered under warranty. Around a $4000 fix. Warranty runs out at 60 000 kms. I will decide at 59 000km or 14 months if I am keeping it. Liked the suv up till this point. Not sure if it is a one off item or a lemon. Drives from heated gradge to heated gradge. Never been abused. Update. Cvt transmission failed at 54 467 kms. What a hunk of junk, would like to give it - 5 stars. Buy this if you like to spend money on motors and transmissions Proud owner of a toyota!

If you are buying this vehicle in Canada remember you are buying a US based vehicle. GPS is not very good and you must purchase an update as it is out of date upon purchase. Update is in $US. Adding insult to injury the shipping fee is US$30 but free to US owners and the latest update is the last one available. The dealer did offer to pay for the shipping. Nissan Canada explains the mapping is a US based company. Fan motor is weak. Try to warm up in a cold winter with the heater from this vehicle. Takes far too long. Perhaps it is not designed for northern US or Canadian winters. Customer service did little to resolve my issues. Hopefully they fix these problems for future models. Will be my first and last Nissan.

My mom has owned this car for 2 years and i can honestly say that this car is iffy, from the start it was giving problems but they were very minor, but got major over the months.Certain things such as jerking when accelerating to the gear lever not moving. I cant tell you much more considering i dont own it but i can tell you despite the problems it gave, it was a ok car after all. The ride itself if great and its powerful.

Good, reliable, boring

I traded in my 2016 Murano, which I loved, for this Pathfinder because it was a deal i could not turn down. It is reliable, has a great stereo system, nice features, pretty blue color, and plenty of power, but the appearance is very boring. It definitely needs an overall refresh to be brought into the 21st century. My biggest complaint is the seats and the ride is way to stiff. My husband's truck is much more comfortable. Also, the Nissan app is impossible to figure out. Overall, a decent vehicle, especially if you want it for its towing capabilities but not great for comfort and not a sharp looker. Also, horrible in winter but I think that is because of the foresight came in it were not the best for snow.
