I have a 2022 Pathfinder with 28000 miles. The rear brakes are worn out. Is anyone else noticing rear brakes wearing out around this mileage? Also, it is mostly highway driving. Secondly, since the E brake is connected to the caliper, I am guessing these are the twist in caliper pistons?

I have a 22 Pathfinder Platinum also (bought new) I have 18k miles now. I have had the transmission fully replaced months after i drove it off the lot (less than 8k miles), and a few other silly small problems.. like the screens freezing and having to turn off the heat/AC then turn it on for it to blow, and a few others.
I have had quite a few Nissan/Infiniti products and this by far has to be my worst experince ever with them. I think they did a rush job with putting out the 22 Pathfinder and didnt do enough testing and the supply chain shortages etc. I think this may be my last rodeo with them also unless something truely amazing comes along which isnt likely. There is way to much competion out here to have to deal with thes problems. I honestly can say I still do think the Pathfinderis the best looking SUV in its class inside and out, but I need the looks with reliability.
Looks like PRviewsvlogs posted a workaround for retracting the eBrake. Besides the manual option referenced earlier, one more option for those looking to do the DIY brake service. 
Just did the rear pads, they are a joke for this size of a vehicle. On both sides one pad was worn out much more than the other and that definitely is why you will only get 15-20K out of them. You will probably squeeze out more if you do mostly highway driving. In any case, I used the 9V battery trick and it was super easy, saved over $400 compared to what dealer wanted.

How in the world did you get them to cover the brakes under your warranty? I heard grinding noises while backing up at 16k miles and was told my rear brakes r side 1mm and l side 2mm were in the red and rotors were shot- unable to turn. They refused to cover cost to fix claiming it was normal wear and tear. I’ve driven cars for over 40 yrs. and never had back brakes wear out first! I had the rears completely replaced in May of this year and when I did my oil change in October(only 6k miles later) the rear brakes have gone from 8mm to 5mm in just 5months.
Clearly something’s wrong. If they will not address the issue and find a reasonable solution, I am going to the Better Business Bureau and Attorney General. Nissan needs to do a recall.

Same here , 17000 miles and needed new pads. Also they said I need 2 new front tires. And when looking up the tires on my PF they should go for 65k.

Hopefully it will not take someone getting into an accident over faulty brakes before Nissan addresses the issue. I also had to replace a front tire because it had a bulge in the wall of it. Once again, not under warranty. I have poured more money into this new vehicle in the past 1 1/2 years than I have with any used car I have previously owned. Disappointed in Nissans lack of resolve. Should have gone with my gut and bought another Toyota.
Sorry for your issues - but no brand is safe in this modern, post-covid world. Go check out some Toyota forums or any forums for that matter. Every brand is having catastrophic issues of some type. No one is safe.
Im at 20k miles and they wanted to do a rear brake job and also brake fluid for $600….i also caught them in a lie with saying my in cabin filter needed to be replaced…even though I JUST did it 2 weeks prior. Told my wife to get outta there and we’ll find a new dealership who wont come for our wallets!
i plan on doing the brakes myself, they said i had 3 mm left so will just be going with new ceramic pads

Unfortunately, it’s hard to find an honest dealership these days. I am already at about 23k miles and getting close to needing my rear brakes done again. This is craziness.
I have to say that the stopping ability of R53 is fantastic but guess that's the price we all will pay. Other brands have had this issue as well like Honda Accord back in early 2000's. Still stinks the consumer gets stuck with the cost so early on. Even if you diy, it's about $200 (with new rotors and pads) and a few hours that you could be doing something else.
Agreed but a few reason to at least get them turned is:
1. Take off pad transfer from old pads
2. Knock down outside rust edge
3. Make new area to burnish in new pads
But you can probably get away with a pad slap if they're in good shape at least till the next regularly scheduled brake change at 40k.
20k is definitely ridiculous to have to replace them. I traded in a 2014 Hyundai at 95k that still had the original rotors and pads for the Nissan. By 95k, it sounds like I would've replaced the rear brakes 4x's on the Nissan.
Definitely makes sense to me.
My 2009 Xterra was the same, I went 130k miles on 1 brake pad job, period. I was actually about to get them done in the coming months because I was preparing it to be passed down to my son....but thanks to the old lady who crashed into it, it got totaled.
My 22 Pathfinder has exactly 20000 miles also. And at 19900 miles the warning light for the air filter came on....maybe it's based on how many miles. I went to get my oil changed and multi point inspection at 20000 and they turned off the air filter warning light, changed the oil( I hope). Never came out to let me know the air filter was due or anything else was due. Everything was checked "GOOD" on the job detail receipt. I am sooooooooo over Nissan right now. I can't wait to trade this Pathfinder in and get some that is more responsive.
Good morning
I have the same problem with my 2022 nissan pathfinder it only has 10,600 miles and I have to change them already
Good lord, what they putting Play-Doh tires now lol

Hey good to know that! I have a very basic question. I am trying to order break pads and rotors from Rockauto. I am not sure if i should order 1 qty of rear bread pads and 1 qty of rear rotors. My understanding is 1 QTY of break pads will have 4 pads for both wheels and 1 QTY of rotor will have 2 rotors for both wheels. Is my understanding correct? Also, could you please share the 5% off code . Thanks
