I bought a 95 SE Pathfinder and loved it at first. I had one account of the transmission fail-safe causing it not to shift out of 3rd gear, but it fixed itself and I never had a problem with it again for months.

Now anytime I drive in the overdrive for more than a few minutes, the fail-safe activates and I have to turn it off for at least 30 minutes before it will shift out of third. I think the tranny is overheating, but I'm not sure.

Faults:

Fan clutch squeals.

General Comments:

We love our Pathfinder so much, we bought another 1995 Pathfinder. Low maintenance, and a fun, reliable ride.

We have no problem with rust or lack of power.

We take these Pathfinders everywhere on the interstate highway or off roading. It never lets us down. We live in Wyoming, and it handles excellent in winter or summer.

I have owned this truck for about 3 months now, and the only problem that we've had is weird.

If I turn to the right too sharply at moderate speed or higher, it sputters, then stalls. The fuel pump goes out, and it takes a moment or two before it works again. Then it starts right up again, like nothing happened. Could be a loose connection or relay. I'm not certain; I'm not a mechanic, I just know a few things.

So far, I like this truck more and more every time I drive it. I think the lady I bought it from only drove it in winter, always had it serviced at Nissan dealership, treated it like gold, and I thank her every day.

The engine is a bit underpowered, but not enough to inconvenience me.

The back seat is a bit squishy for adults, and the rear doors are small. Adults bump their heads, larger items have to be manoeuvred over the wheel well, and leg space is minimal. The rear seats are placed higher though, so shorter people will enjoy the view.

The small things please me best, like the radio antenna that automatically extends and retracts, and the power door locks.

Faults:

Belts have been a problem.

Lights went out in heat/air control area.

My best friend!!! This was my first car, it reared me from toddler to being my first car. It's taken me faithfully from Kamloops to Vancouver over 100 times, awesome for winter, roars like a lion, heats up quickly, climbs rugged hills and muds like a lifted truck. Amazingly safe (truck frame), and I used it to pull out my friend's SUV from a ditch not four months ago.

Very roomy, I sleep in it often when I go camping. Seats have the potential to sink.

There hasn't been a whole lot of problems. When I got it, it needed a little love since I live in Michigan and the weather can be harsh on vehicles. The only major problem I had was fixing a 4 wheel drive hub. The most recent problem is that the heat shield rotted off and now I have a hole in the floor board off the drivers side.

This car is a beast. I take it off road in the Silver Lake sand dunes. I can go up the hills in two wheel drive and even backwards. It's awesome. This is my first car and I plan on keeping it for a long time.
