Nissan Pathfinder problems, by model year and system
875 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Nissan Pathfinder 2016–2026, and the 1 system the record is deep on — engine (220). Each system has a page across the years; 1 model-year page goes deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Nissan Pathfinder system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 220 complaints across 10 model years, 25% of everything owners filed about the Nissan Pathfinder. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Nissan Pathfinder year has the most complaints?
2017 (186), 2022 (135), 2016 (107). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
