What owners report
Owners of the 2022 Pathfinder most often report rear brake pads and rotors wearing out unusually early, frequently noticed during routine service with no warning light. A second cluster involves the panoramic sunroof, which some owners say leaks water into the cabin and others say shatters without an impact. Transmission harshness or delayed shifting and various electrical/infotainment faults are also common, and many of these reports come in the first 30,000 miles.
- Brakes
Rear brakes wear out early
- 30 complaints (22%)
- median 12,000 mi at 1.7 yrs old (5 state mileage, few)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2023–2026
Owners report being told at routine service that the rear pads and rotors are already worn out, often while the front brakes still look fine. Some describe grinding or shuddering under braking, and a few say stopping distance felt longer than expected. Several report the dealer replaced the rear brakes but characterized the wear as normal or a wear item, and some say the work was not covered. Usually reported between roughly 12,000 and 30,000 miles, often at a routine service visit rather than after a specific event.
What to check: Have a mechanic measure rear pad and rotor thickness on a pre-purchase inspection, and ask for service records showing whether the rear brakes were already replaced and at what mileage.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“It appears the rear brake pads degrade over a short amount of usage. My vehicle currently has approximately 28,000 miles and I have had to replace the rear pads twice. Once at 13k miles and another at 27,500 miles. Car vibrates violently upon heavy braking. This seems to be a known issue with the manufacturer; however, no recalls have been issued.”
NHTSA complaint #11590112, filed 2024-05“The rear brakes are failing at unusually low miles with no indicator on the dashboard that they needed service. Basically we just started hearing a grinding noise. The Nissan dealer says this is normal for that vehicle, but I have never seen brakes begin to fail this soon under normal driving conditions and no indicators.”
NHTSA complaint #11690371, filed 2025-09 - Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors)
Panoramic sunroof leaks or shatters
- 21 complaints (15%)
- typically at 3.5 yrs old
- filed 2022–2026
Owners describe water entering the cabin from the roof area or down the pillar, sometimes with a gurgling or sloshing sound from the passenger side after rain or a car wash. Others report the panoramic glass breaking outward with a loud noise and no apparent impact, and some say it happened more than once. Complaints mention repeated dealer visits, drain lines pinched or unable to be duplicated, and repairs not fully resolving the leak. Leaks appear after rain or washing at various mileages; the shattering reports include vehicles with very few miles and repeat occurrences years apart.
What to check: Check the headliner, pillars and carpet for water stains or dampness, run water over the roof, and ask whether the sunroof drains were serviced or the glass replaced.

“The sunroof is leaking water. There has been no accidents or damage to the car. I previously took the car to fix the problem on 08/29/2022 Auto Nation Nissan Miami. They told me they had 6 pathfinders with the same problem for the same make and model and year. A few days later they told me they fixed the problem, however this is not the case as there is still a leak in the roof.”
NHTSA complaint #11485069, filed 2022-09“While driving down the road or a smooth road 60 mile an hour 60° weather, it sound like a bomb went off inside my car after walking around my car I saw nothing wrong and then before I got in I noticed something on top of the car and it was my panoramic window blown up”
NHTSA complaint #11731875, filed 2026-04 - Electrical system
Infotainment and electrical faults
- 30 complaints (22%)
- median 30,803 mi at 2.2 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
- filed 2021–2026
Owners report the infotainment screen freezing, lagging or rebooting, which can leave the backup camera and audio unavailable, and some say a replacement unit also developed display problems. Others describe the vehicle failing to start or stalling with multiple warning lights, and dealers recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery or replacing control modules. Reported across a wide mileage range, from nearly new to well over 30,000 miles.
Recall 22V5270005 related service bulletins
What to check: Test the screen, radio, camera and startup sequence several times, and ask whether infotainment software updates or a head unit replacement were performed.

“On Sunday September 8 2024 at 3:01 pm while driving my car down the road my car suddenly started flashing the Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system warning light. The warning started flashing then the engine shut down. The engine shut down for about five minutes then I was able to start it again. But My check engine light was on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11625795, filed 2024-11“The car delays start. When I press the push to start, the radio will come on but all the indicators will be lit but the car wouldn't start. Sometimes I have to press the start button multiple times. Forward collision warning sensor randomly turns off. Sensor will say malfunctioning at random times.”
NHTSA complaint #11457192, filed 2022-03 - Transmission and drivetrain
Harsh or delayed transmission shifting
- 14 complaints (10%)
- median 15,686 mi at 1.4 yrs old (3 state mileage, few)
- filed 2021–2025
Complaints describe clunking or jerking when shifting from stop into drive or from park into reverse, delayed engagement, and surging forward while coasting to a stop. Some owners report the vehicle dropping out of drive or losing speed on the highway. Dealers are said to have reprogrammed or updated the transmission control software, sometimes without curing the behavior, and in some cases could not duplicate it. Reported from very low mileage up through tens of thousands of miles, often most noticeable while the transmission is still warming up.
What to check: Test drive from cold, including repeated stop-to-drive and park-to-reverse shifts, and ask whether any transmission control module updates have been applied.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“I have had 2 major and one minor incident with my 2022 Pathfinder. I bought it certified preowned Jan 2023 with 21k miles. At 23k miles- end of the same month it was purchased- the vehicle decelerated from 75mph to 35mph on the interstate. The dealership sent a towing truck to pick it up next day and they diagnosed the problem to be a dead battery- the lights on the car remained on all night but if it was the battery then the car would have not even been on. Dealership failed to dig deeper. …”
NHTSA complaint #11592242, filed 2024-06“Around 28,000 miles vehicle would exhibit odd shifting characteristics while transmission fluids were still coming up to temperature. Car surges forward while coasting before coming to a stop. Dealership updated TCM software but car still lurches forward while downshifting before a stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11596862, filed 2024-06 - Forward collision avoidance
Forward collision and AEB warnings
- 10 complaints (7%)
- median 38,600 mi at 3.0 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2022–2026
Complaints describe the automatic emergency braking warning light blinking or staying on, messages about a radar obstruction, and cruise control dropping out. Some owners say the dealer attributed it to sensor misalignment from an impact they say never happened. A few report unexpected automatic slowing or braking, including one that slowed after reading an exit-ramp speed sign. Reported from a few thousand miles upward, often on highway driving.
What to check: Check for any active AEB or radar warning lights on the test drive, inspect the front bumper sensor area for damage, and ask whether the related service bulletins were applied.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The automatic collision breaking system light just came on. I turned it off and waited a while. I was fine for two days then came back on and stayed on. Took it to the dealer and they said I must have hit something because the sensors were not aligned. I explained I had hit nothing. There is no damage at all to the bumper. No accident reports no damage nothing but they insisted I “must have hit something.” Light when off again for about a day then came back on. Radio turns off and on randomly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11556142, filed 2023-11“While driving with the cruise control activated and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) turned on and also the ProPilot Assist and Speed Adjust by Route turned on, I have been on the highway (Speed limit 100km/h) and the vehicle reads the speed limit sign on the exit ramp (20km/h) and automatically reduces my speed even though I am not on the exit ramp. I have almost been hit from behind due to that sudden slow down. I have now turned some of those systems off until they come up with a software fix, very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11547880, filed 2023-10
Buying note. A 2022 Pathfinder is worth a careful pre-purchase inspection: measure the rear brakes and check for signs of sunroof water intrusion, since both come up repeatedly in owner complaints. Ask for the full service history, including any software updates for the transmission and infotainment unit, and confirm the seat and hood latch recalls were completed.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records.
