My wife wanted a Jeep so I test drove everything they had and bought the Nitro instead, The reason I gave this such a good rating is based on its price compared to everything else in its category. It is not the fastest nor most powerful thing I test drove but it was 7000 less than the next competitor and had much better performance per dollar and was so much more fun to drive than the super soft inadequate feeling suspension on the grandma grocery getter Jeeps I drove.
love this suv

Do your research the 2008 Dodge Nitros have a bad TIPM and Dodge refuses to replace it. Myself and thousands of others have a problem where the vehicle will not start or crank, the headlights start flashing, the windshield wipers turn on, the horn honks, the radiator fan turns on but the vehicle will not start. More disturbingly in 2009 Dodge issued a Technical Bulletin explaining the problem to their mechanics but did not recall the part, even though there was a recall for the same issue in the 2007 Nitros. Thankfully my problem has always happened while the vehicle was parked, others were not so lucky and I've read accounts of peoples car shutting down in the middle of busy intersections, driving down the highway. The electrical issue can occur in numerous fashions and can effect all systems including fuel and brakes. DO NOT buy one of these vehicles until this part is replaced. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed one day, don't let it be you or your family members.

First vehicle that I bought brand new. The first three years were great but now the truck will stall when idling. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership for service but the problem cannot be reproduce. Only have 70k on it. Any suggestions?
Awesome Ride ... I Would Recommend

I've had my 2008 Blue Nitro for almost 2 weeks, It is an investment for me cause I hadn't had a payment on a vehicle in almost 6 months. I had a Red Jeep Liberty Limited 2002 that I paid off in January and was so glad to see it go. I had nothing ,but problems from the Liberty during the last 3 months I had it. When I saw the Electric Blue Nitro on~ line I wanted one. I set my mind to it and finally ran across one (that was blue with low mileage) and purchased it with no problem. The sound system is also a plus and I have sirius satelite radio for 3 months at no extra charge. Anyway check it out for yourself if you wanna' know ... go test drive one.
