2017 Nissan Pathfinder problems
The Nissan Pathfinder is a range of sport utility vehicles manufactured by Nissan since 1986. Until the third-generation model, the Pathfinder is based on Nissan's compact pickup truck platform which it shares with the Navara/Frontier. The front end of the D21 (first generation) and R51 (third generation) Pathfinder is notably identical with the Navara/Frontier up until the B-pillars.
The Pathfinder was marketed as the Nissan Terrano (Japanese: 日産・テラノ, Hepburn: Nissan Terano) outside North America. Beginning in 2004, the R51 series was marketed internationally as the Pathfinder.
In 2012, the R52 series Pathfinder was released as a three-row crossover SUV based on the unibody Nissan D platform, moving away from the body-on-frame chassis format. The role of a mid-size body-on-frame SUV in Nissan's global lineup was passed to the Terra/X-Terra, which was released in 2018 and based on the D23 series Navara.

- Summary: Thursday 9/12/24 6:38 am temp 71 degrees. Driving on interstate and my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder sunroof exploded in the middle of the glass. No rocks were found. I reviewed dash cam front and rear footage and did not find any evidence of a vehicle close enough to throw a rock on the car.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-01
- VIN: 5N1DR2MM6HC
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: AC Auto Amp failed and no cold or hot air is coming out of the vents. Nissan has identified the problem in May 2024 and as of September 2024 they still have not sourced a part that can be used to repair the issue. Safety was put at risk in two ways. First the windshield defroster and defogger do not work. When fog begins to appear on the windshield it affects visibility and has to be wiped off manually while driving. In summer months the temperature of the cabin is excessively hot which can be unsafe over long drives. Nissan has provided no ETA for being able to fix this and the cold NorthEast winter months are coming where it will get dangerously cold. This can be unsafe over long drives in sub freezing temps.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-02-05
- VIN: 5N1DR2MN1HC
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: Recently, I have noticed that my SUV has not had good luminating ability so I naturally assumed it was a faulty or weak bulb. I have since then changed the bulbs to LED and still the same issue exists, I cannot see 3 feet in front of me at night. It is a danger to me, my occupants and others. It seems that the headlamp assembly is delaminating from the inside causing the reflective piece to become ineffective, regardless of how strong of a bulb you have. I researched this issue and seems to be prevalent in Nissans, in fact, Nissan had a recall on their Nissan Altima headlamps for the same reason. That recall ended last year but did not include my vehicle. Please help me since each assembly is approximately $250-$300 each, plus installation.

Positive 2017 Nissan Pathfinder car reviews

Great mileage for a 3.5L V6 (combined 25 mpg), which is giving competition to V4 engines. The ride is really awesome, with better control. You may not even feel that you are moving at 65/70 MPH speed. It feels very smooth and quiet.
-
I'm so glad to hear that you're still enjoying your Pathfinder after almost 3 years! It's great to know that you have no complaints or concerns.
-
Overall, I'm happy with the vehicle. I've had it for 3 1/2 years and I'm ready to trade it in for another one. The only slight problem I had was that every time I would back out of my driveway and shift the vehicle from reverse to drive then accelerate, I would hear a very slight popping sound. I took it into Nissan and they replaced something that had to do with the transmission CVT. However, it still made the sound. By the way, I must say that Nissan has great service. (Ed Hicks in Corpus Christi, TX.)
-
I drive my red Pathfinder with pride. It really turns heads. It's comfortable and secure, with plenty of storage. Although I've had some electrical issues and I'm disappointed with the gas mileage, I'm hopeful that a recent repair and breaking in the engine will solve both issues.

Fantastic SUV with lots of space for a large family

Forrest Douglas 2024-11-25
The front seats may not be the most comfortable and the back seats may not fold down level, but there are still some great features to appreciate. Although it may have less storage than the previous model, it still has some useful compartments. Additionally, the gas mileage is comparable to the previous model. Overall, there are some downsides, but there are still some positive aspects to consider.

Great family vehicle
Douglas Bogisich 2024-09-28
Having to replace trans and trans-axle fluid at 30, 60, and 90K simply because it is now in sealed units that cannot be accessed for inspection is a total ripoff! It's frustrating to deal with this kind of design, but we can help you take care of it.
Columbus Yost 2024-09-12
This car comfortably fits 7 people, which is why we chose it. The exterior design was also a factor in our decision, as we preferred it over the Honda Pilot. There are many pros to this car if you're looking for a spacious vehicle. For example, the interior is very roomy. The S Trim also has a touch screen, although the apps aren't particularly useful. The larger screens on the SV and SL trims didn't impress us either.
Boris Hartmann 2024-07-24
The CVT Transmission has had some issues since the beginning, unfortunately. If you look into it, you will find that due to the underlying design flaws of this transmission, there is no guaranteed way to prevent problems. Therefore, I would recommend avoiding this vehicle unless you enjoy working on transmissions.
