It's also a good idea to check the website. Nissan has issued several recalls for some Pathfinder models that you can check at the NHTSA website with the VIN number of your vehicle. We extensively drove the 2015 Pathfinder and took a quick drive of the 2016 Pathfinder, both with AWD. We also found many positive owner reviews that mention no CVT problems at all.
#2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLUS#
On the plus side, according to the Nissan has extended Non-Hybrid CVT warranty coverage on the 2013-2014 Pathfinder to 7 years/84,000 miles, whichever comes first. Solutions included reprogramming the TCM (updating the CVT software), replacing the control valve assembly (part of the CVT transmission), or replacing the CVT transmission. Nissan has issued several bulletins on the issue. Owners describe intermittent lack of power and jerking/shaking or "judder" as Nissan refers to it. The CVT transmission in the 2013-2014 Pathfinder received a number of complaints. The bulletin advises to follow the diagnostic steps and, if confirmed, to replace the coupling and perform "Unit Characteristics Writing." The part is quite expensive if out of warranty.
An aftermarket part (cooling fan assembly) costs from $170 to $450.Īccording to the bulletin NTB10-029e, vibration or judder feeling from the rear of the vehicle in 4WD Pathfinder when making slow turns on dry roads could be caused by a problem with the Electric Controlled Coupling for the rear final drive. We found these videos describing the noise and repair. The noise sounds like a card in spokes or clacking and is fairly loud, coming from the front of the engine. The engine cooling fan (radiator fan) can become noisy and might need to be replaced. We found several videos describing the repair. The part is not very expensive and the repair is fairly simple. The OEM A/C compressor is expensive, but we found plenty of aftermarket options for $350-$560.Īn inner door handle can break and stop working. The A/C compressor had to be replaced and the system recharged.
In 2013-2015 Pathfinder, several owners reported that the air conditioner compressor has failed and the A/C stopped working.
