Look closely at the sizes on your tires. Pathfinders with 265/70-17 tires accidentally installed on front and have 256/65/17 rear could have anti lock braking and vehicle dynamic control issues . Look at your door jamb for correct tire size. I have not heard of any Pathfinder wheel hop issues but...

What's wrong with this Pathfinder?
It's a 99 (i believe). It was towed here to me on a car dolly (only front tires in the air), with the transmission in neutral. When it got here to me (about 140 miles), it wouldn't go into any gear. We found it to be out of trans fluid. We put some of what was available at the local store (Type F automatic, which i don't believe to be the correct...

Towing this vehicle with the rear tires on the ground for more that several miles has caused sever internal damage to the transmission. No nissan vehicles with automatic transmission can be towed with the drive wheels on the ground - period. Your owners manual will tell you this. If it was a tow...

2005 Nissan Pathfinder...it is acting strange....?
I get in my car this morning and my Pathfinder was acting funny. The "Service Engine Soon" light was on, the "VDC off" light is on, the "SLIP" light is on, and the "4WD" light is on. Also, I was unable to accelerate and turn the wheel. What could this be? I looked under the hood and the belt was fine. It was not worn or anything.

I am willing to bet you had the battery replaced or go dead just before this happened. If the battery is ok the VDC needs steering wheel straight ahead reset to turn off the VCC SLIP Lights. And some Pathfiners need the YAW rate sensor reset too. Set up an appointment with your dealer right away...

Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

First of all, if you plan to haul people and don't anticipate towing much or regularly off-roading, you should look into more carlike choices like the Ford Edge, Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse, or Nissan's own Murano.

The Pathfinder's design is already several years old, but it feels thoroughly modern next to the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which mates dated styling with a cramped interior and subpar performance and will soon be discontinued.

The Toyota 4Runner is another possibility, with plenty of off-road ability, though it has a noisier interior and a harder ride and can get quite expensive at the top of the line.

The Ford Explorer has a nicely updated, comfortable interior with more standard safety features across the line, but it doesn't possess the sturdy off-road ability of the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder.

An alternative might be the Dodge Durango, which offers a slightly larger package overall, though it doesn't handle the road especially well.

Each of these vehicles has poor fuel economy and a less-than-ideal ride, and most shoppers would be better suited with a modern crossover design from these automakers.
