260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD
| 2000 mi | Whole CVT and torque converter replacement after three straight days of "shuddering" at low (20-30mph) speeds. Dealer had to keep it a few days to replicate problem, but transmission replacement only took one day once they did reproduce it. |
| 4800 mi | Transmission judder and shakes at low speeds. Dealer unable to replicate |
| 9000 mi | Dealer could never replicate the judder. This was a major reason we decided to replace the Pathfinder. |

2014 Nissan Pathfinder 4dr SUV
260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT 4WD
| 74000 mi US $2000 |
Replaced rear differential. 4wd had clunked while driving. Also reflashed transmission. Rear hatch motor broken, but did not repair because cost was $900 |
| 78000 mi | CVT Failed due to overheating. With warranty extension from Nissan to 7yr 84k miles, the transmission was rebuilt. Over a 3k bill covered by warranty. |
| 34100 mi | Transmission was replaced due to judder. Secret warranty applied so no cost. |
| 31000 mi | There was a recall for the transmission. It was a programming update. After the update was performed they found a problem with CVT transmission and had to drop the CVT out of car and replace some valves. |
| 19840 mi | Jerky transmission-converter locking device not holding. The problem has been repaired but still under observation. |
| 40920 mi | Transmission replaced under warranty as the judder experienced over two years yielded a failure code. Dealer did an excellent job in completing this repair. |
| 75020 mi C $2800 |
leaking transfer case assembly and right-hand drive shaft replaced by new units, recall |
| 128960 mi C $600 |
Reg service plus repairs to rh. half shaft seal |
| 2680 mi | When driving between 35-50 km/h the car would shudder, sometimes quite badly. It would happen only during light acceleration, often when turning at a light or in a roundabout. They wound up replacing THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION! |
| 22940 mi | Leaking gasket |
| 11400 mi | The dealer reprogrammed the CVT - apparently to give better diagnostic data if/when we have an issue. I think this was a TSB. |
| 26000 mi | At low speeds/accelerating we are experiencing transmission Judder. Initially the dealer told me he was replacing the valve body, however instead just flashed the transmission software per Nissan NTB15-014b, judder still present. While driving at low speeds and turning left or right, as if pulling into a parking space at the mall - the driveline binds as if the AWD system is locked. The dealer is telling me that this is normal when the 4x4i selector is in AUTO |
| 28000 mi | CVT Update per Recall PC5001 PC500C 1.0 I think this was a CVT controller flash re-programming While driving at low speeds and turning left or right, as if pulling into a parking space at the mall - the driveline binds as if the AWD system is locked. The dealer replaced part 38761-3KA0B Coupling assbly just near the rear differential |
| 24180 mi | Replace electronic coupling assembly in rear drivetrain (between driveshaft and rear differential) under NTB10-029C to eliminate a thumping sound from the rear end when making tight turns. |
