Nissan Pathfinder

I used to be a Nissan Pathfinder lover. I used to have a 1985 and 1998 model of the Pathfinder. The 1985 one ran 350,000 miles, and the 1998 one ran 250,000 miles. Now, I have a 2013 pathfinder. I had a transmission problem and I repaired it at an auto service center, called Z-Atlanta, who bought a new transmission and replaced it in June 2021, and I picked up the car on June 4th. Unfortunately, the new transmission had the same problem in November 2021. Z-Atlanta and the Nissan dealer at the Gwinnett Place mall gladly repaired it again with warranty. I paid for a general service and towing fee and pick it up January 13, 2022, after Z-Atlanta picked the car up from the Nissan Dealer on January 10, 2022 and finalized.

I bought a 2022 Pathfinder in June 2022 with 4 miles. At about 30 miles the collision light would come on when I hit a bump in the road. I took the car in to be serviced after having my car for 2 weeks. The Nissan dealership had my car 7 weeks. During this time, a nissan engineer worked with the dealership to get the problem corrected. Once my car was returned to me me, the collision malfunction light would randomly come on. The car was taken back to the dealership and kept for 3 weeks. My car was deemed a "lemon" and has been bought back by nissan.

I purchased a new 2022 Pathfinder on 9/14/22. On 9/27/22 the vehicle had a substantial roof leak. Leak damaged entire headliner, visor, all dome and visor lights were dripping water, driver's side seat was soaked as were all driver's side door electronics and carpeting. Submitted Claim on 9/27 and Nissan Consumer Affairs was not helpful at all. They would not respond unless I called the dealer where car was purchased from and complained. They would then have to call a local rep, who would then have to call Consumer Affairs and inform them that they needed to respond to me. Long story short new car with under 1,000 miles on it needs to have much of the interior replaced and upon my request to have it swapped for a different vehicle Nissan has denied my request.

Nissan is very much aware of the defective transmission in their cars and they uses the dealers to assist them in not taking care of the problems. The dealers reports that if you choose to have car service by someone else and not Nissan they will refuse to fix the problem with your car. I just experienced it with my local dealer not trying to help consumers but assist Corporate Nissan to not assist customers whom had oil changes at other shops instead of their dealership.

I bought a Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek package brand new! I have had it 2 1/2 years. I have had motor for wiper replaced (1 wiper stopped working during a storm), regulator for door (had to drive to work on a 30 degree winter morning with window down) both covered under warranty, and now a component that starts it is $1300.00 (part and labor) out of my pocket. It's under the 3 years, but over on the mileage. They are not good quality. I called Nissan because dealership could not do anything, and Nissan will not do anything to help with this repair. Do NOT waste your time or money on a Nissan. Buy a Toyota or Ford!

In 2018 purchased a Nissan Pathfinder because it had 4x4 and we needed it for our climate as we live in a very snowy area that gets 20+ feet of snow a year. The first storm we had the 4x4 did not stay engaged. Took it to the dealership. Was not only told something was not wrong, I was sexually harassed. Filed a complaint with Nissan. They did nothing but recommend a different dealership 125 miles away. Found out the dealership by our house sold us a brand new vehicle with a broken coupler. Fixed it. 4x4 still didn't stay engaged.

I’ve had many Nissan products with mostly positive experiences. At the end of April, I purchased a new '22 Pathfinder. The sales experience was terrible, from the salesman gloating about my trade right in front of me to the finance manager stating “why would you trade to save only $100 a month?” then the sales manager telling me that I’m only complaining because I want free stuff! Things don’t end there, the car needed new wiper blades at 200 miles (which should be covered under warranty), dealership said that it was a special order part and would get in later that week. (It’s been two months… I had to buy my own wiper blades) Then the tires were so over inflated they popped causing me to have to replace them. (Dealership did not accept liability for not doing proper PDI so that was money out of pocket) Then at 5 weeks old, it stopped recognizing its own key.

BUYER BEWARE! I have owned two Nissan Pathfinders and have had the sunroof shatter on THREE separate occasions while driving down the highway at 110 km's an hour. The sound is like a gunshot going through the vehicle followed by tempered glass showering down over everyone inside. None of these instances were due to an impact from a rock, there was literally no one in front of me on the highway. It is due to the deterioration of the inferior glass they use to make the sunroof. There have been class action lawsuits in the U.S. for this very reason which outline the concern that has been brought to Nissan's attention. Nissan Canada does not care.

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder that I have been having MAJOR issues with. The car stopped working in December of 2020 and Nissan deemed that it was a CVT transmission issue which they changed and I had to pay out of pocket for this as it was out of warranty. I am now having the same issue. I have been trying to get to Nissan Consumer affairs to discuss this issue with no luck. I have spent hours on the phone without even getting to speak to a live person. I have sent numerous emails with no response other than them leaving a voicemail saying that they were trying to contact me with a callback number. I called back the phone number given ** and had to leave multiple messages with no success. Eventually got a callback telling me that there is nothing Nissan can do to help me. Terrible company!!!

I took possession of a 2022 Nissan Platinum Pathfinder that I paid cash for on 8/24/21. To date Nissan has not sent the MSO to my dealer so that I can get title in my name. For 9 weeks I've had to park my new car, DMV, my insurance, no one shows ownership. I've also had to get two extensions on my temporary plates from the dealer. I'm further insulted to get the Sirius notices saying my free trial is over when I haven't even been able to drive the car. When I call Nissan they never return my calls. I've called Corporate twice with zero courtesy of a phone call. Customer service is less than able to do a thing for me.
