No transmission issues ever on our 2008 Altima at 240k miles. ...it was a 6speed manual, of course☺

Had a 97 pathfinder go to 400k km and my current 02 pathfinder over 300k. Nissan used to be great, the pathfinder always had an identity crysis, but the wd21 and the r50 pathfinder generations were fantastic offroad and very reliable, r51 had clearance issues but was still reliable

Manual ? What if an American or a woman needs to drive it ?

HUGE fan of Nissan VQ-series engines. Owned a 6 cylinder 2007 Nissan Altima (with CVT). Bought new. Sold it with 155,000 miles. Outside of the typical oil, tires, brakes, the car operated flawlessly. No problems with the CVT. Great acceleration. Comfortable seats. Best HVAC system I've ever had in a car. Currently own a 2012 Pathfinder, bought with 140,000 miles. So far, so good. Pathfinder gets about 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, but that is to be expected from a 2012 body on frame SUV. All that being typed, I am meticulous about maintenance and I don't race from traffic light to traffic light.

That's my favorite generation of the Pathfinder. Should last you a long time. 2012 is probably the best year with all the issues ironed out. I have an 08 with 184k. Enjoy it. Minus the gas mileage. I sure don't.

Love the plans for this channel AMD. Always good to have an overview of other makes and models, you can never have too much information as a DIY‘er. Thank you!

Gives me and even greater appreciation of the talent and skill required to work on a car.

I originally came across your channel when I was looking for information about the Toyota Corolla hybrid. there are not enough words to express you my gratitude for all that you have done to fill the channel with tons of useful information and fruits of invaluable experience. I don't have a car, but for several years I worked as a mechanic in an enterprise and I'm interested in your approach in a thorough explanation of all aspects of the problem, a logical, consistent approach. Watching your videos is fun and exciting. I think the new format will also be a success! thank you and good luck!

Mate, you are always so calm - a true virtue! Yes I enjoyed this video as it gave important insight into other brands. Love to see you do the same for a Nissan Rogue and/or Rogue Sport.

Love the new channel idea. It's great to hear what a Toyota mechanic thinks of other brand's engineering

Ya the biggest issue mainly I've seen from a brand new models even pure Jdm 370z are the brakes after about 30k miles even with new parts good grease the Nissan brand even the aftermarket brands have strange materials that cause alot of screech noises

It will be great seeing the contrast with other car manufacturers and your reactions, AMD! Interested to see how this channel develops.

I have a '16 Maxima since new, now 115K miles, no CVT issues (I change the fluid at the dealer every 60K miles).

Love the idea ! I've been dying to find something similar to your main but for Hyundai and we got a 2021 Sienna partly loosing the fear of the hybrid system thanks to you! Thank you for all the videos and information. Its very refreshing to find someone like you that is genuine and giving advice thinking about people, just wish I would live closer to take it to you to work on it ! 😆

Love this channel and the other and I'm subscribed to both. Just an absolute wealth of trusted information. Thank you!

Glad you have expanded your knowledge into other makes. Great video and as informative as the other videos.

I am just started watching this and can not wait for you to find problems of all kinds, I had a Nissan Maxima and over the years most everything broke down from brakes to windows to fuel injectors injectors to the blower fan and transmission and with everything broken it would not be a simple repair, on brakes the rotors needed to be replaced as well as the pads every 40k miles or so, I have a Highlander with 62k miles now it is 12 years old and it has been trouble free still on the original brakes as well.

Hello Adm.Great video and great new channel. Subscribed and liked like always.😉

Thanks for your content on both channels. I really appreciate your expertise and value the opinion of someone who knows from experience & training what they're talking about. I presume most of the content on this Remix channel will be at home, so maybe you can spend more time on the diagnosis, repair and confirmation process. For example, "This car has such & such a code.....here's how I diagnose it, fix it, and confirm that the repair was successful". It would be especially valuable if you could do such things from the DIYer perspective without the fancy dealer-level equipment.

Love this idea. Keep it going please.

It's good to see a professional work ☺️

Fantastic thumbnail. That's how I feel every time I have to work on my Nissan. (Granted, I'm not a mechanic.)

Yes AMD, good channel for other vehicles other than Toyota.. Good idead!

I would love to see a review of a Nissan Frontier. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated!

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love this new channel .. just like the Toyota channel !!

This is an amazing idea, exciting!

Actually, the pathfinder switched between unibody and body on frame. The first gen was based on the hard body, so it was body on frame. 2nd gen was unibody but it retained the solid rear axle. Third gen was based on the frontier, also body on frame. When the 4th gen was designed they needed something to replace the poorly selling Quest minivan, so they moved the pathfinder back to unibody. The 5th gen looks like a truck based SUV, but it's still unibody.

Like your first channel, I’m an early subscriber!! Last year, my daughter got t-boned in her very old Honda Odyssey van so had to replace it. She loved the Nissan Rogues but too many horror stories about those CVTs so we looked for used Rav-4s but too expensive so found a clean Mazda CX-5 and she reminds me of our Toyota, lots of quality!

great idea to have a side channel for non-Toyota stuff, we can always use more contents from great and honest mechanics like you! I do have a 2015 Nissan Altima, and yes the transmission gives me chills every time I drive it, no problems yet but I can hear the unusual noises from the CVT and it's NOWHERE NEAR as smooth as the Corolla's old-school 4-speed automatic. Would have gotten rid of the car instead of praying every time I drive it if not for wife not letting it go.

As long as you don't over do it and compromise your health, I would love more content especially the cars you think are fun (not so much Toyota's). Thanks.

Just found your new channel. Interesting to see how other manufactures build things. The power steering on this Nissan unusual. I try to rent Toyota when travelling but sometimes all gone so have to sell the for Nissan Altimas. Different but not as nice as Camry. Cheers 🇨🇦😎👍

The part where you gave "compliment" when replacing the rear brake at 13:58 makes a good laugh. That's right! This, and the Murano, same design.

New subscriber here. Love your other channel tho.

I'm loving your new remix channel hope to see a lot more content. if course I follow your main channel and thank you! I'm huge into camping and sleeping inside my vehicle. There is a huge van life and camping market I think you could do well with if you include more content towards small cargo vans and such. Anyways, I run my vehicles all night for 8 hours while parked to get AC and heat on average 2 times per week. I typically keep my vehicles for 5-7 years and sell them after I drive them about 150k miles. That said, here are a few questions I'd be very thankful if you could offer some of your amazing experience: 1. I'm considering purchasing a small compact cargo van. I'm considering a 2019 and newer Nissan NV200 or a 2019 and newer Ford Transit Connect. Although I'm a loyal Toyota and Honda fan, my options are very limited and these small cargo vans are great for my needs despite their reliability is so poor. I plan on bringing any vehicle I find to you to be inspected and maintained. Do you feel both are poor considerations and which of the 2 have a more reliable engine and transmission? 2. I'd love to purchase a 2021+ Toyota Sienna however the price is way too much for Sienna's and their ground clearance is too low. I've found many people lift these vans for light offroading in they use Journey Off-road lift kits. Does lifting this van cause a reduction in reliability? Many like myself have this question about lifting a sienna as there are no other AWD van options out there. 3. Are there any maintenance tips you'd suggest for people like me that run their vehicles overnight while camping for AC or heat other than the traditional vehicle maintenance? 4. Would idling a vehicle overnight for AC or heat be better or worse mechanically on a hybrid vs non-hybrid vehicle? Which would offer better reliability given that type of use? Much appreciated!!

i am a gm guy but i got a 2018 awd rogue ,,,an its runs great ,,,an i know about the cvt,,,my boy got a 2019 an i told him oil in the cvt is its life ..well an trans so change it at 50,000...

@@sidallen685 maybe it depends on which generation of 3.5 you have? The gen 2 engine is way better than the first. Dual injection, dual cooled turbo's, bigger timing chain, etc...I have a 2020 F150 3.5 I bought new, with 40K on it with no problems so far. I am planning on trading it in to downsize to a midsize truck since I no longer need the high tow rating. My only small complaint so far is the bad gas mileage. I'm only getting 17MPG in winter. However, I did go one size bigger tire with 10 ply though.

We own a 2019 Pathfinder and a 2010 both have been great rigs.

It's actually a very reliable power steering system. Those engines however with Direct injection really needs the oil changed religiously otherwise it will sludge up fast.

I owned 2 Nissans. First Nissan was a maxima and really fast car but when it had problems it had problems. I felt the problems came from the lack of maintenance from my lady not doing oil changes and just maintenance overall. Second car I currently have is a Nissan Sentra. Not the greatest looking or fast car but somewhat more reliable than the maxima. Way easier to work on from day to night and both cars had a CVT transmission that I learned from our first Nissan is to add a transmission cooler. I’m hitting 212 k and I hope I can make it last.

Please review a Subaru Impreza if you get a chance. Thanks, love your videos.

I had a 2017 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD for about 3 years. I had the AC compressor replaced under warranty. By the time mileage reached 40k, the AC wasn’t blowing any air from the vents. Eventually, it started working normally. I also didn’t like how the CVT operated . Even though I had extended warranty, I didn’t feel that the quality, like Toyota, was enough for me to keep long term.

When Ghosn took over as CEO he bought along Renault's quality and cheapness in cost saving. It did a massive amount of damage to the reputation of Nissan. Poor timing chains, CVT problems, failed chassis on some pickups due to cost savings on rust prevention, hidden water pumps. Looking at your video would suggest that this cheapness continues. Long live Toyota.
