Finding the right path!

2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

The pathfinder is the perfect family car. The features are unbeatable and the safety rating is a huge plus. There is ample room in this SUV and it is a very quiet ride. I wish there was a turbo option for the V6 is powerful but I enjoy a “get up and go” option, although sport mode does do that, I don’t like to drive in that mode all the time just for gas saving purposes.

Frustrating to have my new car parked in the drive

Sadly my 2024 pathfinder has had lots of problems so far. Started with the driver side seat warmer, windows motor and mother board from the screen. That was replaced and fixed when I had the time to leave my car in the dealership. Sadly I didn't think about the distance from my hometown and the inconvenience that this car will be. I have to go back to fix the seat belt sensors, other window and now we had to replace, from our pockets, the battery (2 times ) and the tires and they were close to illegal to drive at less than 20,000kg Now we are trying to figure a date to bring it to thw dealership and leave for at least a week for them to find and hopefully fix the problem that is going on with something electrical as my car can not stay charged. Something is draining the battery. The local mechanic can't fix it and if they could it would be super expensive. So there i have a 2024 car seating on the driveway while i have to struggle to share the car with my husband and still pay insurance. Figure time off of work, $$for gas and accommodation to take the car 10 hours away from where I live. Definitely my last nissan as the customer service over the phone is very poor too.

3 months and so far loving it!

I got my 2024 Nissan Pathfinder platinum edition about three or four months ago and so far I’m loving it. The interior is upscale and beautiful and functions are clear and helpful. I really like the room and the layout of the seating I also really enjoy the power in sport mode. It’s very responsive. It does not get great mileage in the city. I’m getting about 19 to 20 on the highway anywhere from 26 to 30 I love the way this car looks. It’s modern but also manly since I have the platinum edition I have basically every option I really like the auto windshield wipers and headlights that dim automatically. We recently had a big snowstorm here and my all-wheel-drive Pathfinder went through it with no issues at all also like the slightly heavier than usual steering, although you don’t feel particularly connected to the road like you would in an Audi or BMW there is a nice driving experience to be found especially in sport mode. I wish I could permanently disable the auto stop start, but it does have a convenient button that you can just tap to turn off this system but that auto stop start system does run just fine. The heating and cooling systems work great although the fan is noisier than I would prefer. The seats are comfortable and I like that you set up fairly high. I did expect the Bose sound system to sound better than it does, but it still sounds good. I think the issue is the fact that the front speakers are more aimed at the windshield. This causes an unusual effect but can be fixed by Transferring some of the sound to the rear speakers. I think Nissan Pathfinder is overlooked because of the prior iterations had that terrible CVT . This version does not have the CVT yet as a nine speed transmission that’s so far has worked fine. I have driven the Highlander and the four Runner and the Pathfinder falls in between those two and ride. The four Runner was unpleasant and the Highlander was too soft. Pathfinder is kind of in the middle and I like that. Again, I think this car is overlooked and is better than the reviews. Say that it is. I’ll update this review going forward but so far it’s everything I want it to be

Bang for the Buck

2024 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I bought a 2023 Pathfinder Rock Creek , drove it almost 10k and traded it for a New 2024 Rock Creek. Got a deal , still driving the 24 , 10k on this one now. Bottom Line - Hard to Beat. I am in the Car Biz , have driven almost everything , had two Suburbans , and a Tahoe just before the 23 Rock Creek. Figured coming out of those Chevys I would be unhappy with whatever I drove., Well the Rock Creek , fit the bill. As soon as you open the door , the high threshhold makes it for easy entry , theleg room is the best in this class , the head room is 9 inches above my hat. Its quiet , very impressed how quiet. It handles as it should , sturdy ride and steering. The Rock Creek seats are made of tough material , and the floor mats all around keep it clean and dry. The gas mileage is not bad , low 20s on the highway , close to 20 around town. V6 is responsive. The second row is comfy with plenty of room , center consule with cup holders and storage , rear air , very nice. The third row is fine , serves its purpose , easy to store , mine is down most of the time. I have a plastic cover over the back area which is great keeping it clean and dry. The tow package tows up to 6500lbs , works great with my bike trailer. The interaction between Nissan and the customer is easy , with the app , updates tire pressure etc... which keeps you in the loop. The only thing that annoys me , It does have a slight hesitation at times when you start to go , its there , not a big deal , owners know about this , other than that , its a nice ride , people that ride in it compliment its comfort and all around quietness. Go buy one

Disappointed and Frustrated with My Pathfinder Pur

2024 Nissan Pathfinder S 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I purchased a 2024 SL Pathfinder with high hopes, only for it to quickly turn into a nightmare. Within just a week of driving the car, I experienced a catastrophic transmission failure. Naturally, I contacted the company’s customer service, hoping for a swift resolution. To my dismay, they denied my claim for a refund or even a replacement vehicle. I was shocked by the lack of empathy and support. To make matters worse, when I learned that the necessary parts for the repair were on backorder with no estimated time of arrival, I was left without a car for months. This left me in a deeply inconvenient and distressing situation, unable to rely on the vehicle I had purchased in good faith. The worst part came when I reached out to consumer relations for help. Instead of offering a meaningful solution, they suggested I hire a lawyer. It’s appalling that the company would rather engage lawyers to defend their failure to provide a reliable product, rather than focus on making a car that works and supporting their customers properly. It feels like the company is more interested in finding ways to avoid responsibility than in providing quality service and products. They have effectively taken my savings, and I have nothing to show for it but a car that's not working, no support, and endless frustration. I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a Pathfinder. My experience has been nothing short of a scam. If you want to buy a car that you can actually rely on, look elsewhere. The company’s customer service is subpar, and their focus seems to be on defending themselves legally rather than making things right for the customer.
