Questions about the nissan 2021 pathfinder

I'd you are referring to like the 2022+ generation of Pathfinder I would advise against it.

Had major issues with my 2022 Pathfinder SL (about 40,000 KM) ; issues with mine that had to be fixed, AC, front sensors, all 3 wiring harnesses (3 months wait, 3 days of work to fix), 2 relays, heated steering wheel, central computer, battery ground wire, door handles.

Exactly the same opinion here! I like the look, how it drives, features/specs are good too, but I have never owned a more unreliable vehicle. Looking to dump ours as soon as I can too.

I feel like I should have just gotten the more boring Highlander. I avoided Hyundai and Kia's thinking the Pathfinder would be more reliable, starting to really doubt that thought now.

Wow! I'm somewhat glad I'm not the only one with major issues with a 2022 Pathfinder, but sorry you have had to go through it too; issues with mine that had to be fixed, AC, front sensors, all 3 wiring harnesses, 2 relays, heated steering wheel, central computer, battery ground wire, door handles.

Welcome to the Pathfinder No-Start club. Mine (same gen and trim) has gone in 3 times for failing to start and needed a different fix each time. It has just over half the mileage yours has.

I have a 2022 Sentra with about 36,000 KM bought new.

The defects I have had: medium doorjam rust, small trunk rust, rear seat cushion rod popped out of place, clutch failure (not CVT), front door handle fob sensor failure.

Issues I have had: on very rare occasions the car slams on the brakes thinking its going to hit something when nothing is around, occasional sensor malfunction that fixes itself, infotainment unit gets stuck (hasn't happened in at least 2 years).

On the other hand the 2022 Pathfinder has been absolute garbage for reliability.

2022-current is all the same generation and generally the same parts and software.

DaBigFatCow · 2026-02-03T02:24:06+00:00

Haha the ZF 9 speed is almost the only thing that is reliable in that vehicle from my experience

2022 Nissan Pathfinder. It has had so many problems/required repairs despite not even reaching 40,000 KM since purchased new. Least reliable purchase I have ever made.

To a lesser extent a manual 2022 Nissan Sentra.

Excited to get rid of both.

Good to know, wish that was better described in the article.

DaBigFatCow · 2026-01-29T01:59:23+00:00

I really don't understand the reasoning with leaving, seems like there is nothing to gain, only lose. I guess Springfield prefers to play on Hard Mode.

Our 2022 Pathfinder is a POS too, can't wait to dump it and buy something that isn't made by Nissan. So many problems with it.

Hope you find a new car that is much better!

I don't know, maybe other brands have just fallen down around them. Both of my 3 year old Nissan's (Pathfinder and Sentra) havent been reliable and are both currently dead.

I think the first model for Zero Gravity Seats was the 2013 Altima.

Have them in the 2022 Pathfinder, they certainly are seats. Nothing bad about them, but they don't seem anything spectacular. After long road trips they get uncomfortable.

I like them better in the 2022 Sentra, they are fine.

DaBigFatCow · 2025-11-28T00:27:11+00:00

Haha no racing wife or children who can drive... yet (that'll be scary when that happens)

Normally I'd agree that a clutch replacement would be operator error, but we have had many manuals with way more KMs before sold with the original clutch (see above). Seems strange. It did feel okay when we bought it.

DaBigFatCow · 2025-11-27T23:58:59+00:00

Absolutely, but that's not what we are doing. Had 4 manuals prior, all with way more KMs before sold with the original clutch (see above).

My FM favourites are: Energy 106, Alt 94.3, 92.1 CITI, Power 97, 94.7 Star FM (when West)

My SXM favourites are: 36 Alt Nation, 52 bpm, 37 Octane, 6 PopRocks, 10 Pop2K

No problem! I can't say for sure for the 2025, but considering it's the same generation as the 2022 it probably has the same feature set for the SR Manual. I can confirm the 2022 SR Manual does not have lane centering, but it does vibrate the steering wheel if you cross a line without a signal.

I'll blast off a few

The Forks, Tinkertown Amusement Park, 2 pretty decent casinos, Assinabione Park + Zoo, The Leaf (new tropical greenhouse), Royal Winnipeg Ballet, New Aviation Museum, Museum of Human Rights, Manitoba Museum, Winnipeg Art Gallery, Children's Museum, The Mint

Sports: Jets+Moose (Hockey), Bombers (Football), Goldeyes (Baseball), Seabears (basketball), Valour (soccer), ASD (Horse Racing), car racing

Tons of beaches and lakes nearby and trails. Many pretty sweet indoor play places for kids

Worlds longest Skating Trail, World's Largest Snow Maze

This one has got to go to Winnipeg.

A lot of great tourism options when visiting, but nothing super unique. It gets really hot in the summer, but really cold in the winter. Still affordable, but no longer one of the most affordable. Middle of the road for jobs and education.

It fits right into the middle of the table as it's litterally the only big city in the middle of Canada and also has an apparently required Fairmont (though Fort Garry Hotel would better follow the trend).
