The door handle thing might be a crash safety feature. I lost a family member last year to a rollover accident because the vehicle door came open during the roll and the passenger was hanging out of the vehicle while it rolled. This feature is probably to reduce the likelihood that an accidental door pull opens the door.

For the USB port, I added a USB3 extender, and mounted it conveniently. For the door, I set the system to unlock the doors when in park. I also have the habit of pulling the door handle twice. I bought the 2022 Pathfinder Platinum just two weeks ago. I also had a 2016 Murano Platinum. I sold it back to the dealer. I always took the Platinum in the Nissan because I wanted all the features. The 2022 Pathfinder Platinum for me is the ultimate. It appears most everything was corrected. Very satisfied so far.

We love our 2014 Pathfinder Platinum, 5 yrs and 60k miles still looks and rides brand new. CVT stutter was fixed at 24k miles due to some electronic sensor replaced and CVT oil flushed, never happened again since. After that, i only replaced a front wheel bearing due to a huge pot hole in NYC and regular oil and filter changes. These SUVs have bad reputations due to the CVT issues it had in the beginning but after they were fixed, i’ve seen plenty go almost 200k miles or past it without any issues. I will change the CVT oil every 40k miles just in case but so far, no complaints at all and is the comfiest SUV I’ve ever driven.

I have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and when the doors are locked, you cannot pull on the door handle to open it. You must pull back the black plastic tap above the door handle, or press the unlock button. I'm still wondering how you can pull your door handle twice to open it. I can pull my door handle a million times and it still won't open. I would love to have that feature where the door will open just by pulling on the handle. Even if I would have to pull it twice.

Hi there. I personally wouldn't buy one of these with 150K, I don't think maintenance cost are any higher than other avg cars. But I do think you can expect to have it in a shop more than say a Highlander. Or have a lot of funky issues pop up, which you will probably just deal with rather than spend money fixing. Now, I'm sure there has to be some units out there with zero issues and will last over 200K...but after owning it for 3 years I was happy to turn it back in. That said the vehicle is great. Lots of space. Huge towing capacity, not bad on fuel especially, on the highway if you drive reasonable, so its not all bad, but thats my honest opinion.

It is your forward looking radar. Heavy rain, snow or bumpy roads can cancel it out.

To replace this radar is 700-850 bucks after warranty is out. ABS light comes on and automatic braking started slowing down the car because a vehicle in the next lane to the right slowed down.

It's a great buy for a SUV. my S model has safety features. It applied breaks and turned wheel to avoid a large suv from me broadsiding . I had looked down in the passenger seat for a moment. I realize keep eyes on the road at all times. This other driver shot across a 2 lane road, and crashes are the location often. So I look up and my Pathfinder is breaking and turning the wheel away from rear of suv. I have not owned a Nissan since the 1980s They are good, reliable suvs. I use my 2019 S model to haul tools and supplies for my store. So I'm not using it as a people mover. I love the fuel economy and power of the six cylinder engine. Mine has the android auto. It also has something I like, in the ability to hook up aux cable if I bring a device that has audio jack. I get sick of Bluetooth, on my 2022 ram pickup it wants to many permissions to even put in supplied charger. It will turn on Blue Tooth when I'm talking outside of the truck. I enjoy my Ram but do not like permissions off my phone to require use of charging. I got a great deal on my Pathfinder,and it keeps my Ram out of places that are tight on parking with narrow streets. So I would give my Pathfinder a high mark on value and safety. Honestly I wanted to buy a 2023 or 24 4wheel drive Pathfinder with the 9 speed transmission Dealers are crazy prices have shot up to the point of gouging. I have 50 thousand miles on my 2019,I can wait.

You will feel a shutting vibration when accelerating from say 20 to 60, as you get on a highway for example. Almost feels like micro ABS type of vibrations occurring within the tranny and may feel it in the pedal a little. But not much I think you can do. Not like an auto where if say 2nd is jumping you easy on the throttle around that gear for better transition and longer life. But hopefully you are one of the lucky ones and don't have that problem or at least to bad before you get rid of it. Thanks for watching, be sure to Subscribe!**SK**

The CVT is #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 about what I don't like about the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder is no more fuel efficient than a Pilot, Explorer, Highlander, et al. Yet I feel like the CVT kills the overall performance of the vehicle. Give me a traditional automatic any day of the week. Acceleration is very non-linear, you really have to punch it, otherwise it always feels like a dog down low. We also had the dreaded CVT stutter with ours early but it seemingly has been fixed.

I have cameras all around, adaptive speed control (the amazing facility). But the rear viewing cameras stop working some 6 months ago. Taking the vehicle into Factory Service Center is like going for a horror movie. The camera diagnostics costs ~ $800 + parts. Changing one of the Enhanced fog light part costed me $375, (installed by my mechanic for mere $25.
