Answer
Mike,

You have to have a defective thermostat in your Pathfinder.  If it does not overheat and it takes a long time to get to temerature you will need to replace the thermostat.  Buy a Nissan thermostat and get a new radiator cap too.  Go to the dealer for the parts or if you can wait checkout courtesynissan.com to save money.
