Thermostat OEM Nissan or Duralast
Reviews
I had this exact issue with 3 aftermarket thermostats that were opening too early. Bought one from Nissan and my temps went back to normal
Pros: temps went back to normal
OEM Nissan, but slightly more conservative with cooling.
Pros: conservative cooling
Vehicle:
Nissan
Replacing the Thermostat with a OEM part has solved the issue (with coolant flush) from a dealership.
Pros: solved issue
Vehicle:
Nissan
installed new Duralast (motorad) 207F thermostat and it seems to have fixed the issues. Gauge is coming up to just a hair under the 210 midpoint and the live data on my scan tool shows the ECT is running between 205 and about 214F after fully warmed up and moderate level accelerations and driving. The front heat is now scorching hot and the rear heat is much improved as well.
Pros: fixed issues, improved heating, stable temperature
I got a duralast part from autozone with a lifetime warranty for 25 bucks. My jeep has been been running well for the last year since the change to the duralast part
Pros: running well, lifetime warranty

Pros: solved high temp issues

We had to replace thermostat from Nissan group Infinity. So far no problem right now
Pros: no problem

Just make sure you buy a genuine Nissan thermostat. I don't know what it is about these cars, but they do NOT like aftermarket thermostats. Just spend the extra ten bucks on a Nissan part.
Pros: genuine part recommended
Cons: aftermarket not liked

I’ve changed mine once already recently (it was a duralast thermostat because I’m stupid, that might be the current issue) and it’s still acting similar and trending towards overheating at 60+ mph even with the radiator fans on high. The radiator in lines are frigid after it’s been running at mid/high temps and the radiator out lines are hot
Cons: trending towards overheating, acting similar

I'd advise taking that Duralast thermostat out and installing either an OEM unit or a unit from a trusted brand (such as Stant). If the Duralast gets stuck in a closed position, the SUV will overheat. If it gets stuck in an open position, the engine won't reach operating temp, and you'll have issues such as running rich. Duralast has a nickname we techs refer to: Duracrap or Dura-doesn't-last.
Cons: gets stuck, engine overheating, poor reliability
