They're not the greatest, but they're there, and they get the job done. The Pathfinder has two retractable cup holders on the bottom of the center console lid. NOTE: I seen a lot of folks listing the Pathfinder's lack of cup holders as con. I could talk about these Pathfinders for hours. Thank God too, because these modern autos are complete garbage! Man. And thanks to a 2001 Frontier I purchased last year (POS) I've learned to repair just about anything, so should my Pathy ever need anything in the future (many years from now) I'll be able to keep it going. I can't even begin to describe how bad I beat this truck into the ground, and yet it never fails to get me where I need to go. It's still my daily driver fourteen years later. I actually purchased it sight unseen from Iraq, that's how confident I am in the quality of these vehicles. After moving to Texas (drove original Pathy here) I purchased a 95 Pathfinder with only 89k miles on it. Otherwise I can guarantee it would have seen 300k+ miles. Sadly I got to the frame too late (rhino lined it) and it literally rusted out around the vehicle. Despite this (common) issue the Pathy tore through everything I threw at it for several years. Parts of it could be crushed with my hand. The frame, unknown to me at the time of purchase, was severely rusted. The first was a 1994 SE 4x4, which I purchased in Maine. (1992)ĭescription: A check-engine light accompanied by poor drivability could be caused by water in the wiring connector for the oxygen sensor.This is my second Pathy. (1990-93)ĭescription: There is a revised pinion seal to correct oil leaks at both front and rear differentials on 2WD and 4WD models. (1990-95)ĭescription: Oil leaks from the manual transmission are likely coming from the breather vent. (1990-95)ĭescription: If the engine is hard to start at high altitudes, it is flooding from too much fuel and a revised water-temperature sensor will cure the problem. The plugs can be resealed without head removal. (1990-95)ĭescription: Coolant leaks in cylinder heads could be coming from blind plugs. (1990-95)ĭescription: Coolant may leak from the front of the cylinder head, which may appear to be a head gasket, but comes from a threaded plug in the front of the head. (1993-95)ĭescription: If the transmission does not shift properly until warmed up, make sure it is filled only with Nissanmatic “C” transmission fluid. Also, narrow rear doors that combine with a high step-up made entering and exiting a bit of a chore.ĭescription: Rattling or rumbling from the blower may be caused by leaves and other debris that are not stopped by the fresh-air grille. The handling is safe and predictable, but ranks far below the head of the class. Since it lacks full shift-on-the-fly capability, it’s far less convenient than most competitive part-time systems used by an ever-growing number of rivals. The Pathfinder’s 4WD system is another drawback. In our test we only achieved 14.7 mpg with the automatic. Given that the Pathfinder was not significantly changed after 1990, the newer Ford Explorer and Jeep Cherokee have provided more popular carlike features and handling, making Nissan’s older design feel dated, too stiff, and unsophisticated. Adequate power finally arrived in 1990 when the 3.0-liter engine switched to multipoint fuel injection, giving the Pathfinder 180 horsepower, but low-end torque still is not sufficient to help the Pathfinder keep pace with the Explorer or Cherokee when called upon to climb hills or haul heavy loads. The big news for 1995 is the addition of a 2WD version of the LE luxury model added to the model lineup last year.Įarly Nissan Pathfinder models seemed to ride smoothly, with less of the rough bounce customary on some of the new truck-based compact sport-utility vehicles. This new unit has more ergonomic, flowing design with controls that are larger and easier to use. In addition, a new instrument panel replaces the former unit with its upright, angular design. Standard equipment on the LE includes automatic transmission, leather upholstery, heated front seats, luggage rack, semiautomatic air conditioning, a CD player, running boards, privacy glass, rear disc brakes, styled alloy wheels, and other features that are either optional or not available on XE or SE models. Hoping to attract more luxury sport-utility buyers, the 1994 Pathfinder adds a new luxuriously equipped LE flagship model.

Also, new inner door beams provide more side-impact protection and CFC-free air conditioning refrigerant replaces ozone-depleting R-12. Among other changes, the optional antilock brakes become standard equipment and leather seats are a new option.Ī new exterior color–Safari Green–is the only change for the 1992 Pathfinder.Ĭhanges for 1993 include mildly modified bumpers and reshaped fenders for this 6-year-old sport utility. In 1991, the 4-door Pathfinder becomes the only body style.
