Death wobble
I like the car,& the ride my sister bought it new and I bought it from her. The problem is I have had to replace the 8 bushings in rear 3 times. Within 3 years. You can be gong down freeway and all of a sudden it is violently rocking back and forth , it feels as if you are going to roll it. Speed has nothing to do with when it happens. But it is very scarey and Dangerous. Nissan is aware of problem but would not do anything about it. As much as I enjoy the ride I would never buy a Pathfinder again

Hate to give it up
I have had a 1999.5 Pathfinder since 2007 with 157k on it. Have had occasional repairs to be expected from an older car. It still drives beautifully but sadly the rust is eating it from underneath. It has been parked winter time n the streets of NYC where the roads are salted.. Recently several brakes in the brake line. Mechanic tells me a possible engine oil leakBrake Rotors replacement, brake master cylinder replacement, probable Axle Shaft Seal Replacement. Also having shaking at higher highway speeds. I know it is time to say goodbye but it has served me well for 15 yrs..now a 20 year old car.

Most reliable car I've owned without a doubt
This car was just what i needed. Literally the most reliable car you'll ever have and you never have to worry. Powerful, capable, with lots of room. This car helped me move so many times because you can fit so much inside!

The best SUV new purchase I've ever had
I had very few repair problems with this car over the years. Very good investment. I was the only owner and Nissan ensured that had a really good experience. Maintenance schedule was easy to follow.

It will run forever!
I am the original purchaser of a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. I was bought with 3 miles on the odometer. It now has 450,000+ one Owner miles on it. I have gradually replaced parts as needed and have continued to drive my beloved little Nissan as my daily vehicle.

Tough, Reliable Car for Adventurers
Purchased my 1999.5 Pathy new in ?99 in the Northern California valley. This car has taken countless trips up to our family cabin all the way up in the Sierra Nevadas, fully loaded with kids and gear. Driven through rough dirt roads (some were?t even roads at all:) ) in bad conditions. Handled it flawlessly. 4x4 is the only way to go on this truck, trust me. Tows like a champ. Provides a reasonably comfortable ride for all passengers on bad roads. Exterior styling is perfect. Ridgid, but tasteful. Interior is nicely designed, but could incorporate a more space-efficient layout with seats down. Alright. On to reliability. This car is, by far, the most dependable vehicle I?ve ever owned. I?ve had it since it was bought new, and have NEVER had a single engine problem with it. Approaching 300,000 miles, running strong. This car reminds me of the old Toyota LandCruiser ads from the 70s. ?Built Tough To Get You There... ...And Back.? Emphasis on the ?and back?. Seriously, this truck is my buddy. It?s like my friend that goes everywhere with me, because it has the ability to go anywhere. And that?s why I?ll never own another car: because I won?t need to. Ever.

Most reliable car i've owned.
Im able to fold the back seats down so it gives lots of space to haul things. We bought the car second hand and put a little work into it and it has proven to be a very dependable car.
