2013 Nissan Pathfinder

DON'T BUY THIS CAR

By Baine (NJ) on Monday, May 20, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,050

Pros: "Comfortible Interior"

Cons: "Transmission Shudders. SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I put 1050 miles on this car since I bought it on April 19. 300 miles in the car started shuddering. Now it shudders all the time. It usually happens when accelerating from a slow role. This is a major safety issue and Nissan has not done anything yet. I brought the car to the dealer multiple times and they keep telling me that a "fix" is coming and should be here in either 2 weeks or 2 months and that I need to just wait."

Comfortable ride, nice interior, room for 7

By Jim J (TX) on Sunday, April 21, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,500

Pros: "ride, comfort, passenger space, Bose sound system,"

Cons: "room for it in the garage."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I purchased the SL model with the premium package. Many have complained about the CVT. I brought mine in under a recall to have the PCM reprogrammed. The transmission no longer shutters upon take off. The CVT is a little different than a conventional transmission but once you get used to how it functions it feels just fine. I am averaging 22.5 miles per gallon with a 50/50 mix of city and highway driving. For the size and weight of the vehicle the mileage is higher than I expected. I will drive this car for at least 10 years. I've had no problems so far and hope for a trouble free owner experience. The deal Mossy Nissan in Houston has been great so far."
