Finding the right path!

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.

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

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.

Disappointed and Frustrated with My Pathfinder Pur

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.
