We almost pulled the trigger on a 2016 Pathfinder for my wife to pull our 18" boat ~3000lbs. We started researching them, and read about a transmission issue that made us nervous. Some of them have a weird shudder. The thought of a possible tranny issue on a vehicle the we would tow with scared us away.
Readin, is seems the issue is being worked on, and was most common on '13-'14, some reports on '15's. Since is was the same tranny in the 16's we passed on buying it. It was by far our favorite of the vehicles we looked at, and we couldn't bring ourselves to spend a bunch of money on a distant second choice. My wife is still driving her 2003 Pilot. Hopefully the problem is fixed now, and we can revisit buying one.
