2024 Nissan Pathfinder

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Pathfinder.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder is defined by its nine-speed automatic transmission and an EPA fuel economy rating of 20/27/23 mpg (city/highway/combined). Current reliability data for the model highlights 69 total owner complaints centered primarily on the service brakes, alongside two separate recalls. While this complaint volume sits above the nameplate's historical low of just seven complaints in 2026, it remains a mere fraction of the 1,050 complaints associated with the 2005 model year, meaning the 2024 Pathfinder occupies a comparatively stable and improved position within the vehicle's long-term reliability trajectory.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder sits in the early portion of the current generation (launched in 2022) and shows a clear downward trend in complaints from the 2022 model year (133 complaints) to 2024 (69 complaints), with TSBs also dropping sharply from 143 to 32. While recalls ticked up slightly from one in 2023 to two in 2024, investigations remain at zero, and the complaint profile is mild—led by service brakes (13 reports) and with only one crash complaint and no fire complaints. Compared to the troubled 2013–2014 era (890 and 573 complaints, respectively), the 2024 is in a far better reliability position. The data does not specify root causes for the brake complaints, but the overall low volume suggests no systemic crisis. Given the improving complaint trend and modest recall activity, the 2024 Pathfinder is a solid buy within this generation.
