Nice quiet ride

Quick steering and 360 camera makes tight spots easy to deal with. Handles well, quiet, but maybe a bit under powered in hilly areas. MPG is a bit disappointing. Electronics work well and everything seems automatic.

Unethical/predatory service policy

We have 34k miles on our Pathfinder Platinum. Aside from the electrical issues that others have reported (occasional need to reboot the car 🙄), its worked really well for us. We recently got >2 feet of snow and then ice etc. The AWD was surefooted and reliable. In fact, I’d give this car 4 stars except for the following, which is unethical. I’m currently selling the car at a $10k loss because I will not work with unethical companies. The issue is that all servicing including new brakes/rotors must be performed at a dealership for this Make/model, which is concealed by Nissan. This creates a monopoly and resulting price gouging ($550 rotors and pads on one axle?) If you’re familiar with modern car maintenance, you know you need a scanner such as a SnapOn Zeus. And then you need to subscribe to the OEM to get their codes. My local garage had both of these, but the Pathfinder codes are not shared thus even the most basic work cannot be done even by a qualified mechanic. I worked with my local mechanic and his SnapOn rep on this over 4 weeks to figure this out. Lied to by the dealership and corp hotline, all of whom said it was possible, only to admit that it wasnt after we confirmed that it was not possible. Save yourself the hassle. I’m actually in a state of shock that I spent $55k on a car and neither Nissan nor the dealer will make this right after multiple polite but insistent calls

Quality/Fit-and-finish Issues

JP, 02/05/2025
2024 Nissan Pathfinder SV 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

The fit-and-finish quality on this car reminds me of an American car in the 1980s. It has rattles, including one that is right by my head when I am driving. The fan motor is extra loud at high speeds (noticeably worse than other vehicles). It has less than 5000 miles, and I already hate driving it because of this - it's just so frustrating. I would say that he electronics and features are one generation behind my Toyota Rav4 that is three years older. Wired Carplay works, so that is nice to have. The remote start and other features in the app would be kind of cool if they worked. I have the SV, and I really like the analog gauges. The digital driver's display is pretty useless. If you do scroll through to a screen that you like, it doesn't save, so you have to do it again the next time you drive. I don't usually go to the effort, so the useless default display is always there. It does ride nicely. It is smooth but not too soft. It is fairly responsive for its size, and gives you a feel for the road. It has adequate power and accelerates well. If something wasn't constantly rattling in my ear, I might enjoy driving it. The transmission shifts at odd times and too often - it could actually use a couple less gears. This is easy to get used to, though. I have found that it shifts much more smoothly on eco, so I use that when I have passengers. On a trip I can get over 400 miles from a tank of gas. The size is perfect - you can fit a lot inside. I can even fit my kayak completely inside and close the hatch if I am alone and fold all the seats down. It's nice to have that much space. In addition, I think it looks nicer than many competitors. Despite the upsides, I regret buying this thing every time I drive it. It was a huge mistake that I am constantly reminded of. The rattles and loud fan are too much to overcome by turning up the radio. They just make it feel like a proverbial "piece of junk."

Quiet,but so-so quaility.

2024 Nissan Pathfinder platinum..a comfortable and reasonably quiet Suv. Decent quality inside..quiet and responsive engine..It has the optional white tri-coat paint.. poor quaity for a near $60k Suv.. fit and finish is surprising in this day and age of robotics. Orange peel finish paint.. uneven panel match.. pathetic.. and they tout a strong customer satisfaction policy.. well.. thats all BS.
