Headlamps Crack Heat/Cold

Great SUV. However, two main problems to date at 48,000 and at 50,000 miles: 1) Hot/cold temperature extremes cause multiple small cracks (20) when headlights on in 20 degree temps. 48,000 and 50,000. One small became one large. No manufacturer recall. $540 each. 2) Cooling fan fails at 50,000. Known problem. No manufacturer recall. $850.

2016 Nissan Pathfinder S

Great vehicle and great fuel economy. With a v6, it has plenty of get up and go. I use it to pull a small boat and a motorcycle trailer. The vehicle is rated for 5800 lbs towing, although I will never tow that much. Well pleased with this SUV.

Comfort for the whole family or towing an RV

Exceptional value and efficiency. Some competing models seemed like driving a school bus. Almost 20 MPG in town and 26 MPG on the road. Everyone who owns one seems to be exceptionally pleased with performance and reliability
