Terrible quality. My 2024 SL model has been in the shop for Engine mount replacement due to excessive vibration at 6,300mile. It just had vibration again. The dealer said the cooling fans the cause of the vibration is the cooling fans, car has 8,300 miles and 8 months since I bought it brand new in Oct 2023. Car still has vibration at stop/idle after I left the dealer a about 2 miles. I took it right back and the dealer could not find anything wrong (what they said). Car still has vibration especially in reverse. Now I am stuck with this vehicle. I am looking to trade for other brand. Most regret decision I made when purchasing Nissan. Very disappointed. it has no option for zero star so I have to pick 1 star. It is not even worth 1 star rating.

I was SO looking forward to the 2024 Pathfinder. It rides really nice, but the electronics are a NIGHTMARE and work so intermittently that I tend to just not use them. This was the 7th Nissan I have purchased and will absolutely be my last. It has been a complete letdown.

I wanted a reliable V6 with front wheel drive with a traditional automatic transmission. The first thing I wanted was no CVT transmission. CVTs may work fine for a compact car with a lower horsepower 4 cylinder engine but they have been unreliable with a v6. Second, I wanted front wheel drive. For me all-wheel-drive and 4WD is just something else that can break. Finally I wanted a reliable v6 engine. The Nissan 3.5L v6 has been around for more than 20 years. It has been one of the most reliable v6 engines produced. They were put into the 350Z, Pathfinder, Xterra, Frontier, Maxima, Altima and several other Infiniti applications. It is tried and true and doesn't have timing chain issues like the GM 3.6L. After driving it for a month I couldn't be happier. Purchased a 2024 Pathfinder S for under $32K brand new. I couldn't get close to this price with Toyota, Honda, or Mazda and I don't trust the engines from Hyundai, Kia, or any "American made" brand. And just fyi... I currently own a 90's Ford Ranger and Buick Regal and love them. But Ford, GM and Chrysler aren't making the quality of cars and trucks they used to.

I honestly don’t know where to start here as I have a lot to say. I downgraded from an $80k Yukon to the Pathfinder Platinum, at first this appeared to be a good car to downsize to, I am sadly regretting this purchase. Bought brand new in November 2023, but this is a 2024 model, and now have about 2k on the odometer. The night I took delivery the warning light for low washer fluid went on, even though there was fluid, the sensor had to be replaced by the dealer. Then the automated steering wheel and drivers seat for egress and ingress went out, the entire steering column had to be replaced. The Bose system is disappointing and I have to crank it up to at least half volume to hear decent bass, and it is overall not impressive for the top tier system in the Pathfinder, sounds mediocre and average. The drive is peculiar, there is a delay when you hard accelerate, as if the car takes some time to think before responding, which is super frustrating when you want to pass or accelerate fast. I have also noticed hard downshifts when I brake, such as a traffic light, it’s like the car is still wanting to move when I am approaching a full stop and it jerks forward. Of course the dealer could not replicate when they had it at the service department. Went on a recent road trip for the holidays with 2 adults, 3 children, and some luggage, the car struggled to maintain 80mph, it was disappointing and kept gear hunting and downshifted a lot. The V6 felt severely underpowered, could not imagine even having more adults or even towing something, honestly felt like the car was at its threshold and would break down if I tried to go faster. I see mixed reviews here and I agree with those reviews who are similar to mine, and also wonder how some here love this car…makes me wonder if in fact we are talking about the same car?? Perhaps I have a lemon, maybe my standard was too high and expected too much from this little SUV? I honestly can’t wait to trade this in, sadly with depreciation I’ll surely take a huge hit as I have also read the Pathfinder has a horrible resale value, and sadly have to wait to count down when it’s financially feasible to get rid of this! My advice, think twice before considering this car.
