    So my pathfinders transmission seems to be on its way out, it’s pretty much toast. I’ve lost 2nd gear and 4th/overdrive, there was no loud bang or anything it just sort of stopped shifting right. Added 24oz of Lucas, didn’t help. Thankfully it is still “sort of” drivable (have to rev it high in...

    Hello, so I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder, it starting giving an issue. We were in a drive thru and it suddenly would not accelerate in drive or reverse, we turned it off and back on, and it still didnt work. Tried again and PS sensor came on and it didnt turn on at all. We had to tow a to a...

    So what is the verdict on the transmissions for that model year? One person tells me by that year they resolved the issue then another says they are still problematic. The transmission debate is stopping me from pulling the plug. The carfax on the unit has no details one way or the other. Any...

    I've got a 1991 with ~180K on it, and I do not know the maintenance history of the vehicle. I bought it at 130K and have owned it for nearly three years by now, always kept up with my oil changes but haven't had to fix much. The last time I had it in the shop I had a mechanic tell me I should...

    I'm trying to find the original service bulletin on the 2014 pathfinder cvt issue. I believe something came out in 2015 or 16. All I can find on the internet is the 2017 version. Any ideas?
  6. R53 Pathfinder General Discussion Forum
    When I first saw the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder I liked the exterior. When I found out it didn't have a CVT I knew I wanted it. I shopped online and made lots of phone calls and talked to tons of Nissan dealers trying to comparison shop by price. I live in Georgia but the best deal I could find was...

    We purchased a 2022 AWD SL Premium Pathfinder in April this year. We were driving a 2015 SL Pathfinder which was a very good vehicle for us with no real issues. The 2022 drives great and overall we like the options and how it operates with a few really frustrating computer quirks. It took me a...

    Having a high pitch wine noise like a power steering leak but on the transmission side of the pathfinder. Is this the transmission starting to go? I have only had the studder a couple of times.

    Sharing a sadness story for a much-loved vehicle living in Calgary, Alberta. Oh Canada!...land of winter sports, good beer, legal weed and my 2014 Pathfinder's troubles. Loved this vehicle since delivery in Oct 2013. Began its judder-journey at 56,365 kms. Went to a dealer (29May2015) to...

    First time poster... 2014 PF SV AWD. 2nd owner (unsure of previous services as it was a trade-in on a new Chevy). 225,xxx miles when I bought it 11-20-2020; 233,xxx now 12-05-2021). Jutter between 35-40 mph. I find it isn't as bad in tow mode (I inadvertently hit the button and noticed it didn't...

    One of YouTube’s most popular auto mechanics, Car Wizard, purchased a 2013 Nissan Cube last year. He changed the CVT fluid at purchase, and recently he performed a 20,000 fluid change simply to show what a CVT looked like. Even The Wizard was amazed by what he saw. He discusses the need for...
  12. R52 Transmission
    Hello, I just purchased a used 2013 Pathfinder and am enjoying it. I am wondering about the transmission modes. Wouldn't it be better to run it in 2 wheel mode for everyday driving where you have dry, solid roads? I am talking not only from a MPG perspective but also from a wear and tear...
  13. 2017-2021 VQ35DD
    What should be the life expectancy of a 2017SL CVT transmission? I'm at 82k miles. I purchased it used from the dealership in October at 68k. Didn't think we'd need it this early on, so we skipped the extended warranty. Lesson learned. The day after Hurricane Elsa rolled through (no flooding...

    Hello all!!! Owner of a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder S with 87,000 km. Bought it literally last week. 🤦‍♂ Starting to worry as I’ve noticed a very mild shudder with mild acceleration at 30km/hr that lasts for seconds (3-5 seconds). It’s not a violent shudder but enough to notice. Is this normal for a...
  15. R52 Transmission
    Hi all! Just bought a 2015 Pathfinder S and have some questions. First off I obviously did not do my research as I was not aware of the transmission issues. Previous owner traded up at the Nissan dealer for a newer pathfinder. I then came along and bought it from dealer. I intend to use the...
  16. R52 Transmission
    Hi, I saw in this post ( small radiator in front of front tire???) someone ask a question if a fan on the transmission cooler can help for towing a travel travel around 4000 pounds dry, but no answer. I have the same question since a few months. What do you think? When we running on a highway...

    Hi all - proud owner of 2006 Pathfinder in Australia here. Done approx 290,000 Kms Love the car but experiencing issued with transmission. I'm not too technical so bear with me :) Just discovered that transmission computer has died (loss of power). Transmission specialist can replace computer...

    Fuses blown for no known reason, Transmission VERY jerky at low speeds and doesn't shift properly at highway speeds, rear door motor failed, video cameras intermittent..... Generally not a high quality vehicle for barely over 5 years old. Can anyone say built in obsolescence?
  19. WD21 (1986-1995)
    Hey everyone Just purchased a 1994 3.0 SE on 31’s. Seemed to run well when test driving and all. Got about 20 miles down the road And it started shifting out of 1st at around 3500-4000 rpm but cycled through every other gear flawlessly, and would manually shift from 1st through to drive...

    2017 PF Platinum shifts poorly when the temperature is roughly less than 40F. Runs fine until the winter. I send it in to Nissan every winter, and they just say hmmmmm.... Last season they replaced the MAP sensor. When the vehicle is just started and the temp is cold, maybe less than 40F...
