2023 Nissan Pathfinder problems

nissan logo

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-16
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DG1PC
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: Follow up to my prior complaint (NHTSA ID Number: 11568968). Sandy Sansing Nissan in Pensacola, Florida replaced the fuel pump and the front forward detection sensor. We also had to have the middle row, middle seatbelt replaced due the sensor not working. We have had the vehicle back for a week and the problems have continued, if not gotten worse. The vehicle has stalled out multiple times, 3 days in a row, nearly causing my wife and children to be rear-ended by a semi truck on 2 occasions. The issue is the vehicle gets to about 27 mph, revs up to 6K rpms, stops moving forward and begins to slow down (at 6K rpms), warning lights like the oil light kick on along with several other lights, and the vehicle stalls, forcing the driver to glide off the roadway. My wife took a photo of the dash as she was gliding off the road and it shows the vehicle still in D (drive) at 0 mph and 1k rpms, whatever that means since the car was still rolling. Once off the road, she has to turn the car off to get it to reset so she can move forward. She stated that at least 2 times, the car restarts with the shifter still in D. On one occasion, she could not get the car to restart for several minutes. Nissan, of course, says they haven't gotten any complaints and no error codes. My wife also states the info center and radio always fail right before the vehicle starts stalling. I going to have to have the car towed to Nissan due to us living over a hour from the dealership and the car not being safe to drive.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-09
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DK3PC
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: On 6/9/24 I was traveling South on Interstate 77. I had intelligent cruise control set. I heard a little chime noise go off and looked at my dash to see what it could be. I noticed the intelligent cruise control was turned off. So I gave my car gas to get it back up to speed. The engine just reved and that is when I noticed that my car was in neutral. This was not operator error. I had both of my hands on the steering wheel and nothing hit the shifter to put it in Neutral. I have an appointment with Nissan on Monday 6/17. Back in Feb 2023 this same car put itself in neutral at a stop light. I could not get it to go into drive. I shut it off and turned it back on and it was able to go into drive. I took it to the Nissan dealer on 2/14/23. They said it gave a code that they never saw and would look into it. They did nothing to the car at this time. They never got back to me and I never inquired about it because it never went into neutral again by itself until 6/9/14 while driving down a busy interstate. This time I was very scared and felt like this was a dangerous situation and a safety concern.

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-04
  • VIN: 5N1DR3BD3PC
  • Components: SEAT BELTS
  • Summary: The driver's seat belt chime randomly goes off even when the seat belt is buckled. This has happened more than 15 times already. Every time I take it to the car dealer, they inspect it and cannot find what is wrong with it because it is not happening at the moment of my arrival. Today it started to chime at me again, and I decided to bring the car to the dealer without turning it off so that the code, if any, would be available. They checked it again and drove it around, but it did not go off, so there was nothing they could do to fix the problem. However, the problem is still happening, and I have shown them videos I captured with my cell phone when it happens to prove that it is not just me saying so. I don't know what else to do to get this fixed because they tell me that if there is no code or part broken they cannot replace it.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-28
  • VIN: 5N1DR3BD6PC
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: Was told today that my rear brakes need to be replaced by the dealer. The vehicle has only 18,000 miles and most of that is highway. They said it seems the rear brakes are wearing out faster than normal on these due to the small size of the pad and electronic parking brake. This is not safe and unfair.
2024-05-28

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-26
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DK4PC
  • Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: Issue is related to insufficient starting and propulsion of the vehicle after the idle stop feature has stopped the engine. After the idle stop feature turns off the engine [upon stopping of the vehicle], the engine does not start quickly and efficiently. You take your foot off the brake, the vehicle begins to start, then you push on the gas, the engine/vehicle then hesitates and stutters, and then the engine finally fully engages and moves the vehicle. Engine doesn't seem to be getting sufficient fuel. NOTE: THE MOST CONCERNING ISSUE is that upon pushing on the gas after idle stop, the vehicle has automatically slipped into Neutral [two recent incidents], basically stalling the vehicle in traffic (until the RPMs reduced and it could be put back in Drive). This is a safety concern if I am beginning to take a left-hand turn or pulling out into oncoming traffic. I have to now turn off the idle stop feature each trip to avoid this safety concern (unless I forget). I will be bringing vehicle into the dealer for service soon - but I am not confident this is going to effectively diagnosed or resolved.

POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-21
  • VIN: 5N1DR3CA7PC
  • Components: POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: This is a new car with 30,000 miles on it. There are two issues, the brakes apparently do not distribute the braking workload evenly or the parts were counterfeit from manufacture. The rear brakes had to be replaced, pads and rotors resurfaced. The front brakes were unaffected and good. Back brakes should not need replacing before front brakes, yet the rotors were scarred with grooves. I have a photo of one of the rotors. Additionally, the (Auto-start & stop) at a halt does not kick in quickly enough to avoid a collision when moving and merging into traffic from a standstill.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-22
  • VIN: 5N1DR3CD9PC
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: At 18,000 miles I was told that I would need to replace the rear brakes as well as the rotors. I only drive in the city and I am not a hard driver. I have never had to replace brakes and rotors within a year of driving.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-04-20
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DJ7PC
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: While driving, car shifts into neutral on its own. It happened as I was driving on the highway at 75 mph and out of nowhere i realized my car was in neutral causing me to redline and slowed down while trying to change lane and almost causing an accident. Thank god I was driving and was able to respond in time by shifting back into drive. Happened twice in one hour on a road trip

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-04-05
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DJ9PC
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: Rear brakes are worn to require replacement of brakes and rotors at 12,500 miles. No off road driving. Just normal highway and city. Took vehicle in for oil change and dealer service technician noted the wearing of the brakes pads and rotors.
2024-03-26

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-21
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DJ0PC
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: When we purchased this vehicle in June 2023, one of the first things I noticed, was an unusual switch on the steering wheel to allow, selecting and viewing all of the vehicle display information. This switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel. It is labeled OK meaning OK to display the selected menu item when you depress the OK button. The switch consists of a thumb wheel to go up or down on the menu selection, and then you depress the thumb wheel to engage the item selected. We’ve had the vehicle nine months and we were driving and my wife attempted to select something by rotating the thumb wheel and pushing OK button. The OK button got stuck in the down position disabling the ok button and preventing her from changing anything on the vehicle info screen. We consider being unable to access vehicle information a safety issue. The switch was promptly replaced by Nissan under warranty. I am an electronics person and I consider this particular style switch too delicate for long term use, a bad design and one that will probably continue to fail. The issue with this switch is the “thumb wheel selector” for menu items instead of an up or down button like on our other three vehicles that do the same functions on those vehicles. Nissan made a very bad choice on using this type of switch.

VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-03
  • VIN: 5N1DR3BDXPC
  • Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
  • Summary: Windshield cracked on passenger side 2 weeks after purchase. Then a few months later a star formed behind rearview mirror in middle of glass. The windshield is pitted in spots. Then last week the driver window cracked and has ran all the way up the window in a day. I feel like the glass in my car if bad. I reported it to my dealership and was given a run around about the extended warranty doesn’t cover glass that’s already cracked. It cracked and was hit all at the same time. In all 3 instances! I feel it’s a safety hazard, to drive around and something hit your windshield and just cause it to crack completely through! It’s also a HUGE EXPENSE for a new vehicle to have these issues.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-10-04
  • VIN: 5N1DR3BB9PC
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: While traveling to California my battery in my 2023 Nissan Pathfinder was faulty and I had to be towed to Albuquerque, NM from Gallup, NM for it to be replaced. I have never been Reembursed $682.00

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-02-15
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DK5PC
  • Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: In the past week or so I’ve experienced a blinking front collision light blinking as I’m driving. In the past two days the blinking light is now an actual audible alert with a collision warning system malfunction warning light saying it is disabled. Sometimes however, the adaptive cruise control still appear to work, sometimes it doesn’t. The light and system malfunction appears and then turns off on its own with no apparent reason. This is a serious safety concern because if the system does malfunction can lead to a collision when driving and/or parking if the light is blinking. When I took it to the dealer they were quick to dismiss the issue saying it can be caused by an obstruction to the windshield camera by dirt, frost, ice, etc. They cleared the codes (C2582-97, C2506-49 and C1F05-49) and sent me on my way. Sure enough on my way home the same thing happened. Please investigate this matter before someone is seriously injured or worse.

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-12-13
  • VIN: 5N1DR3CDXPC
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: I found my new 2023 Pathfinder at Kraft Nissan in Tallahassee, Fl but since I live in Ga I wanted to avoid paying taxes to transfer to Ga. I contacted Woody Folsom dealership in Vidalia, Ga who contacted Kraft and did a dealership trade. Woody Folsom dealership sales rep delivered to my home on [XXX]. On the same day as delivery, I drove the car to for about 30 mins and stopped at a red light. The auto stop feature was on - My car went from Drive to Neutral then OFF! I could not restart the car. I was in traffic with other vehicles who were blowing their horns at me. I did put on my flashers. I waited several minutes after attempting to start the car when it finally started again. The car went back to Vidalia to be serviced and I was told it was fixed and a battery had to be replaced. Again, this same scenario occurred multiple other times. [XXX] I was pulling out of Zaxby's and my car stalled on me, the turning lane for the cars on the opposite of rode was available so I pulled into it with my flashers as my car completely turned off. I had difficulty again starting the car back up. After several minutes of being turned off I was able to start it again. ** other issues [XXX] I was idling at a red light and car went from D to Neutral then completely shut off. [XXX] I was idling in a parking lot waiting on a friend. A light on the dashboard came on indicating the car would be shutting down as to save battery. The car turned off. When I went to start the car again, it would not properly start. It sputtered. I gave it gas and no change. I put car in reverse and tried to go forward which it continued to sputter then turned off. I attempted to start the car but it would not. After letting the car stay off for several minutes it finally started. [XXX] After driving the car for about 30 mins with no issues then shutting off - I tried to start car again and it started the sputtering again. Same deal - let it sit then try again with it starting. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-11-24
  • VIN: 5N1DR3CD5PC
  • Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: My car has been flipping into manual mode from a stopped position. It’s happened about a dozen times at this point. I’ve taken it to the dealership multiple times. The first time I took it in they said they did some software updates. A few weeks later it happened again. Took it back in… they said they couldn’t find anything wrong. They tried to tell me it was “user error”. Since then it’s happened multiple times. It’s always from a stopped or slowed position such as a red light, stop sign or yield/merge. I’ve almost been rear ended on 2 occasions because I try to accelerate and the car will not go and once you realize it’s in neutral someone is already slamming on their brakes behind you! The most recent time it happened with my children in the car! This is unacceptable. I driven Nissans for over 20 years and never had an issue. I currently lease this vehicle. I have 5 months left and I’ve been begging the dealership to get me out of this car… I told them I’d drive anything but this. And they won’t. I’ve been dealing with Nissan consumer affairs which is a joke! I’m at my wits end.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-12
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DG8PC
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: AEB light will come on, telling me that the automatic braking system is not working. Error codes were C2501-4B and C1F05-4B
2024-01-31

SEATS,ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-29
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DG1PC
  • Components: SEATS,ENGINE
  • Summary: Vehicle was traveling at 55 mph. Vehicle shifted itself into neutral, engine began to rev, vehicle began to slow to approximately 50 mph, engine shut off at 50 mph, vehicle immediately locked brakes up and skidded to a stop in middle of highway. Vehicle would not turn back on initially. After a minute or so, vehicle restarted but showed that it was still in drive, had to be placed into park before being shifted back to drive. Second issue, the second row rear seat has a electronics issue. The rear seatbelt alarm chimes consistently with a warning saying the seat belt is not bucked when the seat is empty. Only resolution to temporally fix the problem is to keep the rear middle seatbelt buckled at all times.
2024-01-30

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-01-30
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DK2PC
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: During routine maintenance, it was noted that the rear brakes needed replacement. The vehicle is only over a year old and had less than 20,000 miles when this was recorded. In speaking with the dealership maintenance team, they stated that this is a known issue and that Nissan refuses to take any responsibility for faulty systems within their vehicles. The potential for brakes to go out randomly looks pretty likely, increasing the safety risk to the driver and others.
2023-12-27

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-12-27
  • VIN: 5N1DR3DK6PC
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: The second issue that I have with my 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum edition involves the ten-speed transmission, which desperately needs a software update. I pulled out at an intersection and gave the Pathfinder some gas. I did not come to a complete stop prior. Nothing happened because the transmission was busy searching for a gear. Thankfully no driver came up on me from behind, but if they had I would have been in trouble. I did not know what was going on, so I gave it a lot of gas, which forced the transmission into a gear and allowed me to move forward rapidly. When coming to a stop and giving it gas, the transmission always has difficulty quickly finding and selecting a gear.

Negative 2023 Nissan Pathfinder car reviews

  1. Salvador Leannon 2024-10-05

    My car has only 3,071 miles on it, yet it has started making ticking noises and another noise that makes it sound much older than it is. As a loyal Nissan owner, I am disappointed to have experienced problems with my last two new vehicles, including a 2019 Murano in 2019.

  2. Alejandrin Stehr 2024-09-28

    Hello, we are sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with the new Nissan Pathfinder. We understand that safety is a top priority for you and your family. We would like to help resolve this issue as soon as possible. Please contact us directly so we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

  3. Ed Harber 2024-06-25

    We really enjoy our pathfinder, it's a great ride. However, we have had some issues with the brakes. At 12k miles, the brakes started shuddering like the rotors were warped. We took it to the dealer, but they said the brakes were fine. We had it looked at again at 28k miles before the warranty was up, and it was still shuddering. The dealer said it needs new rotors and pads all around, which is a wear item and not covered by the warranty. Unfortunately, the parts are on national backorder, and it will cost $1k to fix. I understand that brakes are a wear item, but this seems to be a common issue with the 2022/2023 Pathfinder brakes. Despite this issue, we still really like our SUV.

  4. Boris Gleason 2024-04-06

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I've noticed some issues with Carplay. Sometimes it can be a bit unreliable, whether I'm using a wired or wireless connection. I find myself having to disconnect and reconnect quite frequently, and sometimes the volume can be a bit finicky too. Additionally, I've noticed some strange behavior with the backup sensors and collision warning - for example, when I'm backing up on a slope in my driveway, it can set off the warning and cause the car to brake suddenly. It can definitely be frustrating, but I'm hopeful that there are some solutions out there. Thanks for your help!

  5. Ryleigh Pagac 2024-02-29

    Despite my previous loyalty to Nissan, I am disappointed with my recent purchase from Rusty Wallace in Knoxville, Tennessee. The car has had several issues, including rattling and a strange thumping noise after rain. Despite taking it to the shop three times, the issue remains unresolved. Additionally, I was not informed of the additional cost of the maintenance plan until after I had already paid for the car. Currently, the car is experiencing a brake scrubbing noise and I am considering trading it in. I hope to find a more reliable vehicle in the future.

Positive 2023 Nissan Pathfinder car reviews

  1. Ladarius Doyle 2024-11-25

    Your 2023 Platinum SUV is absolutely stunning! The black exterior with the black package and chestnut interior is a perfect combination. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying all the advanced features and connect services that Nissan provides for 5 years with the app. It's so convenient to have roadside assistance, towing, and more accessible through the app and covered by the warranty. The map navigation is just as good as Waze and the heads up display is a great feature. I can understand why you're addicted to it! It's great that it's easy to turn on and off, especially in parking garages. I'm so happy to hear that you love driving this SUV, especially in the city/suburban areas with occasional trips to Assateague. Thank you for sharing your experience with me!

  2. Franco Brakus 2024-10-05

    Your Rock Creek comes with a lot of extras that most don't have. Edmunds helped me find the perfect car that strikes a great balance between ruggedness and luxury!

  3. Vladimir Carroll 2024-08-28

    Just bought a new 23 pathfinder platinum. Despite seeing some complaints, we find it very comfortable and have not experienced any issues yet. We absolutely love it!

  4. Jevon Ryan 2024-07-26

    I love the look of this SUV! It looks like a sporty cross sport, but there's plenty of room for the kids and cargo. The ride is quiet and smooth, and it's a great value compared to the Explorer.

    This SUV is a great choice for those who want comfort and good fuel efficiency. With comfortable seats and ample leg room in the third row, it's perfect for families or long road trips. The Bose sound system is also a great feature, and as long as regular maintenance is performed, there should be no issues with the Nissan. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable SUV.
