5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints for the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder are spread across a handful of systems, with no single category dominating heavily given the relatively low total volume. The most-reported area is the forward collision avoidance system, where owners describe the front radar sensor shutting down intermittently and the parking sensor logic misbehaving, specifically, front sensors triggering while the vehicle is in reverse, which interferes with rear-obstacle detection. Visibility-related complaints center on glass failures: owners report windshields cracking spontaneously while parked and rear hatch glass shattering without any apparent impact. Electrical system complaints round out the top three, though the reported symptoms vary. One isolated report describes the front bumper and grille material melting on two separate occasions without any collision or unusual conditions.
