2017 Nissan Pathfinder consumer reviews

The CVT is something to get used to for sure, but I live in a low density almost rural suburban county. If I had to drive this in city stop and go traffic, I'd probably not recommend it. For areas where you can start and go it's very enjoyable to drive. Comfortable, powerful, good visibility. I average about 23 unless I'm on actual highways and then it's usually around 27 mpg which is great for a V-6 with this power. The groan from the drivetrain is due to the lower RPM at low speeds. I bought mine with 113k miles and have had no real issues yet. The vehicle had a transmission fluid change at 100k, and had regular oil changes every 5 to 6k miles during its life. I can't really complain, it was such a good deal (used).

75, 000 mile 2017 pathfinder and all the sudden this year so far i had to fix timing chain, cooling fan, all four tires with brakes, rotor fan.

I bought the 2017 Nissan pathfinder used with a new motor. Come to find out the issue wasn’t fixed by the new motor they put in so I’m still having problems. Now I’m left with a car that shakes when I drive and the check engine light goes on and off. Nissan now says I need to spend $6,500 to fix the issue. Are you kidding me? This car is a piece of junk and I can’t even sell because I wouldn’t put another person through the misery I’ve had with this vehicle. Never again will I buy a Nissan!!

This was my 4th Pathfinder. I bought my first one in 1996, leased the second two, then leased and purchased my current 2017 SL. Last week the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership immediately. They told me I need a new engine and a new transmission! They estimated the repairs to be $24,000. I have stayed current on all scheduled maintenance for the last 7 years. Still in shock. I don't know how to rate my experience.

Excellent SUV. It will be replaced by a new, 2023 or 2024 Pathfinder. Reliability and value. No problems. Mantained by the book. Definitely recommended. Great performance.

We bought a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder in Oct of 2019, it had 30,000 miles on it. In 2021 we had to replace the radiator fan, our mechanic said he couldn't believe how bad the old one was no more miles than were on it. In Dec of 2022 we got an engine light, cam shaft and timing chain, $6000 repair. I get regular oil changes and regularly buy higher grade gas. Collosal piece of JUNK and the LAST Nissan I will ever own. We traded on a Toyota Camry. Good riddance.

went to the dealership looking for a family car this car was traded and used but it runs good saves gas very dependable. runs smooth for a used car.

Nice looking car. Bought it used. Less than 40 miles. After few months we were stranded because it wouldnt start. Needed computer system reprogrammed. After few more months, again wouldnt start. Needed a sensor replaced. AC didnt work and needed repairs also. Thank god we had purchased the extended warranty which covered everything. No problems since. Nice car when it runs.

i purchased mine a few months ago and I love it so far. Great bang for your buck and best car I’ve owned. It has a lot of space and you can barley hear the people in the very back so it’s awesome.
