2004 Nissan Pathfinder User Reviews

Pros

Nice looking vehicle, has all the things one could desire

Cons

Engine & dealer servicing has got to be the worse I've ever experienced

If your deciding whether or not to buy this vehicle, I would strongly encourage NOT TO. I have never had more problems with a vehicle in my entire life. I've owned approxamately (4) new cars & this SUV has been in the shop more times than all of them combined. Anything from major engine problems to windshield wiper motor malfunctions. My latest problem is that my car burns approx 3.5 quarts of oil in a 3,500 mile period. The dealership has indicated on several occasions that this is standard for some nissan vehicles or SUV's...Does this sound normal to you for a vehicle that has less than 20k in milage? I have contacted Nissan North America with no success at all. I can't express enough to select another manufactuer! I would never, ever buy a nissan again. This comes from a person that has owned 2 previous nissan vehicles!

Pros

looks

Cons

problems

great looks... this is our second pathfinder but we where riding home on a cold night and we found air coming through the door handles..very dissapointing then whenever the car accelerates the windshield-whipers stay at the same speed but once your foot goes on the breake the windsheld-whipers suddenly slow down... veryyyy slow automatic windows...not insulated very well and drivers side window rolls up extremly slow...sometimes i dont ever think its going to make it all the way up!...read morehide

I bought my first one in 95.
A 94 Pathfinder. Luv that truck so much
that I bought a 01.
Everyone want's to buy my old truck.
But it runs just as good as my new one.
Only difference is the 01 has mucho power.(oh p.s. the old one has 180000 miles. You gotta luv this truck.

I have only had my Pathfinder for about 3 weeks, - I have loved every thing about it so far. I did find out quite by accident that you can automatically roll down the windows if you hold down the unlock button on your remote entry, for about 10 seconds.
That will be a neat feature when it gets up to 95-100 degrees here in Louisiana where I am from.
I had tried a Pathfinder several years ago and almost got beat to pieces, the ride was so rough. However, Nissan has definitely the two for the made some improvements in this vehicle. It rides smooth as silk.
I have been a Nissan owner now for about 10 years - this is my 4th, and the only way it will be my last, is if it never wears out - I will always go to Nissan FIRST for any future vehicles I may purchase....read morehide

I bought a Pathfinder two years ago. It is an amazing vehicle. Excellent handling, build, reliability. I would buy one again anyday.

My dad has this truck and I must say. I LOVE IT!! We never had a problem with it, rides great, and unlike most SUV's now, it does not look like a sneaker. It's fun to drive too. But my dad doesn't trust me alone with it so I'm left with the crappy 94 Caravan

have had a few minor problems but Nissan took care of them no questions asked. The ride is smooth but sometimes seems to idle rough. Overall, I am pleased with the car and the price.

this car is da bomb. It goes up hill and down it all dat and more. get you one.

I went to work for Nissan in 2002 and almost immediately bought a car because I had lost my company car from my previous employer. I was very disappointed in the ride, handling and overall comfort of the vehicle. After having heard so much about how great a utility vehicle this was, it turned out to be a major disappointment. The only positive was that it had better than average power, but overall I rated this vehicle a D. I have been in the car business for over 10 years and grew up in a car business family. This was one of the more disappointing vehicle I've owned in the 75 autos I have owned since I was a teenager....read morehide

My parents bought the 2004 pathfinder and all I have to say is that the car is wonderful. It is the sunlit sand color with the same interior and the features inside the car is nice. Heated seats, sunroof, power everyting, bose arudio. The car runs beautifully and you dont even realize you are going the speed limit. All in all, the car is a good buy and I would recommend it to everyone!!!...read morehide
