  • Completely Sastisfied Customer - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I just sold my 95 Pathfinder and I was so please with its reliability and performance that I went ahead and purchased a 2003 Pathfinder. I NEVER had to have work done, except your normal maintenance. In the years that I owned it, it didnt start up only 1 time and that was due to an original battery that had died! It was a pleasure to own and I am now a Nissan driver for life!

    I wrote the same review dated 03/13/07, and just wanted to give an update. The frame rusts/rots on these vehicles. Be careful when looking for one. Check the frame behind the fuel tank. Also check under the rear seats (lift them up and check for rust). 94 models may not have this problem, as the frames are made from a different source, however this year model (1995) are prone to frame rot. In 2007 I had very little rust, when I wrote the previous review. In 2008, lots of rust, and my rear bumper, along with fuel tank wanted to leave without me. I am decreasing build quality, down to a 1.

    the car is fun to drive and handles great. mine had a host of problems almost immediately after the warranty expired , no speedometer/odometer, transmission failure at 90,000 miles, new brakes (not pads) three times already as well as shocks. this car has primarily been used for highway driving. probably wont buy another Nissan pathfinder at least. oh, and it cant tow anything.

    This is one great truck. Its a little small on the inside but the comfort level is great. I bought it with 90K. I owned it for over 2 years and 15,000 more miles and never had to do one maintenance job. Just be good with your oil changes and it will treat you great!

  • Awesome!! - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I bought my Pathfinder in 07/99 with about 65K miles. With over 200K miles as of 07/07, its still going and runs as great as the day I got it! The engine refuses to give me any problems! I love this vehicle because it fits well with any lifestyle and looks good at any occasion. There is one small spot where the paint is fading on the hood, but otherwise, the exterior paint is still in remarkably good condition. Transmission was replaced (wouldnt shift to reverse) in 04 and front axle was replaced in early 07. Otherwise, no major issues whatsoever. Ive put very little money into upkeep. Regular oil changes, limiting off-road use, and taking it easy on the gas pedal worked for me!

  • A Decent SUV - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

    No major problems maintenance with the truck. The engine and drivetrain are great. Fun to drive with a great 4x4 system. FRAME RUST IS A REAL PROBLEM. IT WILL NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION ANYMORE. Exhaust manifold leaks and always has. Been thru numerous alternators. Had to replace both front drive shafts. After 9 years, it will be scrapped - frame is rusted so bad it will likely break at the rear axle.

  • Worth the money - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Great all-round vehicle. I can drive it to work every day, then head out camping on the weekends without a problem. Installed a set of AT tires, and I feel nothing can stop me. Love the 5spd tranny. Bought mine with 76,000 miles 2.5 years ago, am up to 115,000 with only normal wear and tear (brakes, tires, and oil changes)

  • 1995 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4WD - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Just purchased my 95 pathy a few months ago. Since then, Ive replaced all plugs and plug cables, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, engine wiring harness (frayed wires to injectors), thermostat, a tension rod (front left broke from rust), O2 sensor, and now just found that the front right CV boot is cracked and the other is on the way. Ive been turning a blind eye to the major rust on the frame. The list will never end with this truck (yours may be better). If you live in a 4 seasons kind of area (Im in MN), Id look for a newer model. If it werent for the fact that I have to drive this, Id take it back. Surprisingly, the interior is great- all the lights work, windows, etc.

  • 95 Nissan pathfinder SE - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

    I bought this truck in really rough condition as my first vehicle. The exhaust leaks, the frame is rusted, the suspension is shot. But this has to be the most reliable vehicle ive ever seen! in -10 degree weather it would start right up, and plow through 3 foot snow banks in 4WD L like they werent even there. Ive never had a problem getting it started, or getting it out of rough conditions. I even used it to tow my dads huge Dodge ram 1500 back when his tranny blew. I really love my "screaming metal death trap" as I call it. weather going 65 down the highway or crawling through snow and mud, this truck gets the job done!

  • Reliable Ride - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This is the 4th new vehicle Ive had, and it has been the best! I agree that you can get a lemon from any make, I have leased a Nissan Quest which turned out to be a lemon (promptly returned). This car has seen a wrench only once in 7 years (brake pads), and has aged gracefully despite my harsh pounding.
