2002 Nissan Pathfinder consumer reviews

This is an excellent SUV for pretty much anything you're involved with. I've used it to haul my kayak all over Nebraska as well as for my normal commute to work. It's a very reliable vehicle.

This car meets all of my needs, it's 4 wheel drive which is exactly what I need at the beach. It was clean and drove great!

I bought my Pathfinder new 16 years ago. It still runs like it is new with almost 200,000 miles. I will keep my pathfinder until it becomes too expensive to keep it running. I don't expedt that to happen any time soon. I hope to get another 5+ years out of it.

This is an excellent vehicle. Lots of power when it's needed. I do wish it was a 4x4 since Nebraska is unpredictable, but it still gets around pretty well.

I got this car about a year ago, i have the Luxury 4 wheel drive model. I'll start with the cons first. First month it did GREAT. But the security system failed in it, got that fixed. And my fuel pump went out TWICE. Also when I'm going over 55 the whole car shakes. Apparantly That's a common problem in Nissan's itself. Apart from it breaking down, that could possibly be from the previous owner not takinh care of it properly? Not to sure. But i definitely put more money in that car fixing it then buying it. Now for the pros. This car is so comfortable to sit in, i could fall asleep in it. The features in it are so Nice! The heated seats, the wood grain and the sunroof. Definitely love the climate control as well. The 4WD is a plus as well. Only car out of my family's that can make it through the snow as well as mud. Very durable. I absolutely love this car, despite it breaking it down on me i would not trade it for another one. If your looking for a first car, probably would not recommend this only because of all the break downs it has. If your looking for a sturdy suv thats durable through all types of weather then yes I would!

Decent 4X4 vehicle. Doesn't complain much. Kinda consumes gas for a 3.5 V6 engine. Other than that it's a good reliable vehicle.

2002 Pathfinder LE since new. Love the transmission allows me 2WD, AWD, 4x4High & 4x4Low. Stock can handle most easy to mid 4x4 roads. Great camping & gear hauling rig but also works as a kid hauler as well. No significant problems. Needs Technical Service Bulletin to stop burning out O2 sensors but these are relatively cheap & very easy to replace. Otherwise has only needed brakes & oil changes. Rear drums didn't need replacing until 90K.

We have had issue with the distributor once and other than regular maintenance have had no other issues. It just works quietly and reliably all the time, like a truck should. This truck has pulled my small horse trailer and two horses, our camper and numerous boats. We have loaded it full of hay, compost & sand for the garden and even crushed rock. It just WORKS. The worst I can say about it is the back seat is a bit too cramped for an adult and new rear facing car seats only fit in the middle back seat. Its a great little truck and great fuel economy considering its other capabilities. We aren't selling ours... ever.

I bought a 2002 SE with 73k on it 8 years ago. It now has 97600 and every button every feature are in place and work great. Love the heated seats, and the temp control system that you can set from 65 - 85 degrees, Bose sound is still great and loud. The 3.5 L v6 has plenty of power and can easily spin the fat tires. It's 15 years old and I plan to keep it until it's dead. Great in the snow with 4 wheel drive.

I have just went over 304,000 miles on my car I purchase it with just 79,000 miles, only work is just normal tuneup and mobile 1 oil change regular maintainance
