#95 of 139 What do you think of your Nitro? by mb789 Sep 19, 2007 (7:56 pm)
Hello. I'd like to hear from some Nitro owners on how they like their vehicles. What features do you like best? Like least? Are you happy with its performance and handling, etc.? Have you encountered any problems with your vehicles? Thanks. Replies to this message: caliberchic (Sep 20, 2007 5:19 pm) shady276 (Apr 10, 2008 9:32 am) caliberchic (Apr 11, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: mb789 (Sep 19, 2007 7:56 pm) Well I've only had mine for two days now but I can tell you immediately that the handling is a little sloppy but you get use to it. The performance is great for me because the previous vehicle was a 2.4l and the bigger motor suits me better.   Features? It doesn't really have anything to get too excited about unless you get NAV system or the MyGIG.   I got mine with a moon roof, love that. The compass and temp gauge is a must have for me and you only get that with the customer preferred package. I don't really care for where the parking break is located, mostly because it's oddly large.   I test drove one with the running boards, hated those as I banged my calf on the them every time in and out of the truck.   As for appearance definitely upgrade the wheels, we got the 17" aluminum wheels over the 16" steel faced ones. The R/T wheels are amazing..I wish the SXT came with those.   Keep in mind too that you can get the SXT with the color matched fender flares, it's only $200 or so option. My SXT is color matched and doesn't have the grey cladded bottoms.   You can see pics of it in my carspace. \   ETA that I LOVE my Nitro!

Replying to: blacklab4 (Sep 22, 2007 9:24 pm) Not sure about that but I was told the rebate on a 2007 is $2,500 and the rebate on the 2008 was only $1,000.
#99 of 139 2007 Dodge Nitro by nitroowner Dec 02, 2007 (12:01 pm)
Has anyone experienced a brake failure on their Nitro after the brake recall. I owned the car for 8 months. A week after having my car fixed at the dealer relating to the brake recall notice, the brakes failed and I couldn't stop. The incident occured exactly like that explained in the recall. I guess Chrysler's fix for this problem didn't work???????

#102 of 139 Problems in 4WD by pygnsow Feb 05, 2008 (7:59 pm)
Has anyone had any problems when driving in 4WD. When making a very tight turn (i.e. parking) the vehicle will lock up and it becomes incredibly difficult to move. I have to switch it to 2WD, stop, and it will correct after a short time. This is described in the owners manual (essentially the car is tricking the stability control system???) but this just doesn't seem right! Love the truck aside from this--not problems but have only had for a couple months.   Thanks, Brent Replies to this message: caliberchic (Feb 06, 2008 12:30 pm) rockfish1 (Feb 08, 2008 4:36 pm) caliberchic (Feb 10, 2008 7:29 am) rockfish1 (Feb 10, 2008 8:32 am)

Replying to: pygnsow (Feb 05, 2008 7:59 pm) I haven't experienced that yet. I've used mine in 4WD quite often too.

Replying to: pygnsow (Feb 05, 2008 7:59 pm) When I looked at the Nitro, I asked about the 4WD option. I was informed it is part time 4WD and is meant to be engage only when driving in a straight line. Replies to this message: caliberchic (Feb 10, 2008 7:29 am) rockfish1 (Feb 10, 2008 8:32 am)
