  By MATT - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE NO HAD ANY PLOBLEMS WITH MY PATHFINDER, IT IS ALOT BETTER THAN THE JEEP LIBERTY. THE JEEP LIBERTY IS THE WERST. MY FRIND AS IS AND SHE HAD PLOBLEMS THE NEXT DAY. ANYWAYS THE PATHFINDER IS THE BST SUV IN THE WORLD.

  Great Stereo, great Engine - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By TBerndt - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Very fun recreational vehicle. Six disc stereo rocks, better than a lot of folks have at home. Roof rack accepts Yakima conversions that make boat carrying, etc. quite easy. Has a tendency to break loose on wet roads, hard turns. Think its the potent engine-you just have to stay off of it a little on slick roads.

  scratched paint - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By JMM71 - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Picked up my Pathfinder. Took off the wind deflector for the sunroof that can with the vehicle( I dont like them or the look. It was all scratched underneath. A little disappointed at the fools that installed it. They did a good job messing up the Sherwood Green paint, right to the metal(and not just a little). Bringing it back to dealership, after having it 1 day. Other than that. Its no sedan (previouesly owned a 2001 V6 Accord EX), but I knew that before my fiance and I traded our cars in for one automobile.

  Great Suv - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By DBoothe - November 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Pathfinder for just over 2 years now. The only problem I had was an o2 sensor that was replaced at the dealership at no charge. Wish gas milage was better but then again im in a SUV. It dependable and it looks good and not everybody is driving around in one. Would recommend it to anyone.

  3 years and 60,000 miles later - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By 6th SUV - September 10 - 3:03 am

  This has been a very good vehicle for us. Runs rings around the 99 Grand Cherokee we had before this Pathfinder. However in my 40 years of driving I have never had an exhaust manifold break. Not one but both broke on this SUV at 50,000 miles and the dealer wants $1200.00 to replace them. I feel this is not a normal situation and should have been replaced under the drivetrain warrenty. Besides this issue this has been a very reliable SUV, we travel with it alot and I have confidence where ever I go with it.

  Love my Pathfinder - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By AMC - August 17 - 3:10 pm

  Handles well on-road and off. Wide profile not the best in snow, but decent with good tires. Very comfortable, and most importantly, eminently reliable in over 85,000 miles. Of course, gas mileage is pretty poor, but I think I will keep it as a second car for camping, trips, etc., even when I look into a more economical daily driver.

  I had to replace it! - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Mark - August 16 - 6:16 pm

  I bought a early 1999 Pathfinder LE in 2002. It was my first SUV and I loved it! I had an issue with head gaskets that cost me a bit but well worth it. In December 07 my wife and 10 month old son were rear-ended and the truck was flipped onto its roof. Amazingly the only injury was a scratch on my wifes head. For that reason alone I had to replace it with another Pathfinder ASAP. Just bought a 2002 SE and cant wait to get behind the wheel again. I got a great price but the Bose radios 6 disc changer doesnt work. I would recommend a Pathfinder to anyone looking for an SUV!

  Great Car if you are under 6 tall - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By sharkie - August 8 - 10:00 am

  We havent quite had it a month yet, but we love it. One thing, well maybe two. I am 63" tall and weigh over 250 (Relatively muscular 250) and it is a snug fit. My legs are pretty cramped and there is not a lot of room on the sides. I know it is one of the stronger V6 motors for this size vehicle, but the mileage is pretty week. I have a big V8 Chevy truck and it gets just a few miles less per gallon.
