When I open the trunk I hear a loud clunk or bang as it gets about 1/4 of the way up. Come to find out it is the back hatch/door hitting the roof of the car. Seems there's not enough space between the hatch door & the roof & the hatch hits the roof when you open it & then bangs when it forces its way open. (Hope this makes sense.) In the process of the hatch & the roof rubbing each other, my paint has started to chip away.
Dealer said this is a NATIONAL problem with the new PF and they are working on a solution, but I shouldn't expect a solution for at least a month.
So, now 2 recalls to be had on the car... first the passenger airbag sensor and now the trunk/hatch. I love my car, but have to admit I'm slowly getting discouraged.
Anyone else noticing this problem with their trunk opening?
Other issues I have seen with mine are:
Rear passenger door requires alot of force to close.
Rear Climate occasionally thinks 90 is the ideal temp.
Perhaps we should have a separate forum for the 2013 possible issues.. This really isnt related to buying experiences..

2013 Nissan Maxima SL Premium, Tow, & Crossbars.
$35,770 + 1.9% NMAC financing for 72 months. I could have save another $500 but I opted for the financing.
With that said, I think I got a good deal.
My Pathfinder was loaded out Platinum Premium White exterior tan interior with tri climate and DVD in the headrests. It also has illuminated door sills, roof rail cross bars, carpeted floor mats, interior accent lighting, illuminated kick plates, and cargo area protector. Total for the car was 39,000 out the door. This includes $1380 in taxes and another $300 in title and license. I put $2k down. So I ended up paying $39320 for the car itself. MSRP is figured at $43,780. I also did my own financing at better rates than Nissan. Math worked out to take the financing from my federal credit union over any incentives for using Nissan Financing.
here is the best quote i got:
Base SL 4WD $31,800
Cross Bars $246
All Season Floor Mats $114
Premium Package $2,410
Total $34,570
+ Document Fee $75
(no other destination fees, etc.)
The price does include $1000 cash incentive and $500 captive cash for financing through Nissan. I haven't negotiated interest rate yet but I don't plan to finance much and plan to pay down in the next several months, so it's not a huge factor - as long as the $500 incentive is worth more than the interest payments.
I would really appreciate any advice for those that have been through the process... is this a great, decent, bad deal???
Much thanks
That is the best price you will find. I did my homework including looking at fitzmall and carmax new car sales out of state but my local dealer beat them and I was ready to go there for their great no haggle price).
Hope this helps

According to Edmunds, the Invoice on this, exactly as equipped is $41118. At $38,999, It seems that I am at $2119 below invoice which would include $1500 in Nissan Incentives.
If my math is right, I am looking at $619 below invoice.
Does 39,500 incoude Tax and other costs?
was the price 38999, including destination fee and tax?
Am a little worried about the brake issue being discussed on another Forum. Don't necessarily need the car yet so considering waiting until next year when new model issues are resolved.
Having owned a new Pathy before, also considering buying used as the value drops 20% immediately. Still, a $5k discount over a Pilot EX-L is enticing.
When you say $30500 OTD, you mean tax title included in this price?
If so it is very good deal for SL model.
'13 Pathfinder Platinum 4x4
Slate Grey
Almond interior
(no premium pkg - not needed)
MSRP 41,150
dest 845
total 41,995
TC disc -4670
AAA disc -100
offered at 37,225 + doc (339) + TTL
we want to add about $995 in accessories but couldn't find how to do so on TrueCar.
My target with the access would be 38K but I've not been researching this truck for long and wonder if we should be getting the 1000 rebate on top of the discount.
Thoughts and Suggestions welcome. :confuse:
I really like/dislike the SUV for some of the details below:
1. remote starter. The key fob is narrower but a bit longer than my Highlander key fob. NICE.
2. on the key fob, hold the unlock button long enough, the front windows will roll down (same feature as 06 Altima). NICE
3. interior design. NICE
4. back up camera can be switched on anytime. My highlander needs to be put in reverse to turn it on. NICE
5. panoramic sun roof. Actually it is only the front one. The back is twice as larger as the front but only for view(moon roof); there is a power sliding shade.. the glass is fixed. NEUTRAL. The rear moon roof is not important to me.
6. the back has a good size storage space underneath. NICE
7. the leg room for the second row seat is not as roomy as my highlander, but there is bit more cargo room in the back when 3rd row seat folded down.
8. one piece power lift gate. OK. My highlander has 2 pieces, the glass and the whole gate.
9. there is no welcome light under the outside mirror as my highlander. NOT NICE. the sale man does not know if there is one.
10. no little nite light that shine on the center console. NOT NICE. My highlander has that.
11. the engine is very quiet. NICE.
12. the driver seat slides back when engine is off and door open. NICE
13. no cargo cover. NOT NICE.
14. standard 7in display in the center console (larger with GPS package). NICE
15. disappointed there is no welcome light...maybe the light is under the car, I look under the SUV.. cant find one but realize that the fuel tank is a whole 6ft steel box running underneath, in the center of the SUV from the front seat all the way to the rear tire. NOT NICE. I dont want to sit on top of the gas tank, my opinion... And this is when I stop looking, forget about test driving and leave.
Overall, it is a better design than the old pathfinder. I read here about the transmission issue, other mechanical/electronic problem. I wait until they come out with 2014 version. Maybe they will include the welcome light under the 2 outside mirror (I accustom to this from my highlander), one power sunroof in the front, cut back a bit of cargo space to move the fuel tank further to the rear... I will consider buying.
What I got:
2013 Pathfinder Platinum
Mocha Stone
Almond Interior
w/ Premium Pkg, Floor Mats, Cargo Pkg, and Splash Guards
$43,245 MSRP
Price Paid: $35,324.50 + $387 doc fee + TTT = $36,049 out the door.
That includes the $1000 cash back and $500 NMAC cash rebates.
We were hoping to see Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane change, collision avoidance...nada
Talking with the manager, he said he's got new 2014's coming in every week and really needs to make room on the lot for them. He also said that the SL's sell much better than the Platinum's, so he was willing to give a much better deal on the Platinum to get it gone.
Also, sales tax on vehicles in South Carolina is capped at $300, so that plus a $387 doc fee, $25 tag transfer, and $12.50 for title totals only $724.50.
Not sure how much of my deal was because I was local (i.e. will service my vehicle there) and had a previous relationship with them, but you can certainly contact them and see what they can do.
Also check out the Pathfinder Platinum from Lee Nissan in Wilson NC. Link: Lee Nissan. I didn't really negotiate with them that much, so you could probably get them down even lower and it might be closer to you.
There's another good deal located in Greenville, SC at Crown Nissan. Link: Crown Nissan. They wouldn't budge on price with me though.
Keep in mind that you'll still have to pay North Carolina sales tax if you are registering it there.
Happy Hunting!
2014 Nissan Pathfinder SV
Black/Charcoal
Floor mats
splash guards
The price the dealer gave me was $28159 (MSRP 33,305) which included $1000 Nissan Customer Cash +$1000 NMAC Finance Cash, for the NMAC Finance Cash I would have to finance a regular rates through NMAC.
I also inquired about an SL with an MSRP of $36345 and they offered that to me for $30,961. Not sure what other options that one.
So far it looks like both deals are pretty good right out of the gates but I wanted to get another opinion. thanks!
-Splash Guards
-Roof rail cross bars
-Rear bumper protector
-Carpeted Floor Mats
They dealer was really great the whole time. Salesman let us take this car out for a few hours on Saturday then we took an SV out on Monday. While my wife really didn't *want* the leather, she hated the fog light inserts on the SV plus she wanted the remote start. Figure that would have been another $700-800 or so on the $28053 price we got on the SV. So I offered the dealer $28500 for the SL. They came back with $29000.
I figured that's $7545 off of MSRP for one with 7k miles on it but since it's just a demo, it still gets titled as a new car.
Any thoughts on if this was a decent deal?
My wife had a Rogue before this and I have an Altima (plus one before that) so we're both pretty used to the CVT and how it's supposed to work so pretty sure we'd notice quickly if there was a problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed though!
