I purchased a 2024 Nissan in November of 2023. I have about 14,500 miles as I have made some long out of state trips. Initially the vehicle did really well, hauling 5 people plus luggage out of state. After 5,000 miles I started noticing all kinds of weird sounds while driving. The vehicle makes popping or clicking sounds. The drivers ac doesn’t blow cold air unless it’s set to like 70° or colder. If the thermostat is set to 77° the passenger side still blows cold. Big issues with the thermostat and actual temperature. Took to the dealership 3 times for the same issues and they find no issues. The crash alert light also comes on a lot. Very finicky. Sometimes may be bugs, other times no known reason. I do not like the auto idle stop, when approaching a stop sign, your car nearly stahls in that transition. The feature won’t stay off unless you press the button every time you get in and out of the car. The transmission is also very sluggish. Gas mileage has been great. A lot of the features are also good, lane assist, automatic wipers, apple play.

Transmission Issues

Vehicle will not engage when placed in drive, shifted to reverse and still would not move. Horrible clanking noise when shifting in this condition. Transmission is not engaging even though gear shift lever indicates that it is in drive or reverse. Killed engine and restarted several times before this changed and things began to work again. Has been to dealer 3 times for this problem and they cannot help. This happens about every two to three months and they say they cannot do anything until they can replicate the issue. I would never ever recommend buying a Nissan Pathfinder as it has been a royal pain ever since I purchased it.

My 2024 pathfinder sl with premium package looks and feels as good as our Lexus gx ever did and better. Has as many options Lexus didn’t have and sunroof is huge. We only have had it 3 weeks and put 300 miles on it. After reading reviews I’ve been very skeptical on the electronics that everyone is complaining about but time will tell. I have read about all the old pathfinders lasting 300000 miles and more. I don’t keep cars more than 4 years at max so hopefully this goes that far with no issues. I have always been a Lexus fan but the style really blows Lexus away in looks, luxury and ride. We’ll see in a couple years if I go back to Lexus. Back in the 70’s all people heard about was how reliable Datsun/Nissan was. Don’t know where they changed and why they stopped caring about customers happiness but seems like most companies today don’t care about customer satisfaction except Amazon. You would think other companies would follow his lead and get and retain customers thru happiness but that’s not the case. I’ll hope for 5he best.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM NISSAN

Bought Pathfinder Platinum new 2024 in 1/2024; in 6/2024, flywheel in transmission came loose, leaving me stranded 250 miles from home - car was at local dealer for 4 weeks to get fixed - Nissan owes me over $3500 for rental cars and towing, still has not paid me as of 10/31/2024 - their warranty claims process is a joke - delay, delay, delay -
Quality/Fit-and-finish Issues

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."
