If you are in the market looking for a Dodge Nitro keep on looking. I've had nothing but problem with this truck since I bought it. I know that reviews are great and that's why I decided to add my rant, gripe, etc. Word to the wise stay away from Dodge automobiles. The general consensus from everybody I meet or know who has one their complaint is the same across the board. Nice body terrible automobile

The differential began leaking around the pumpkin. Took to mechanic who stated that the seal was breached which I found this quite odd as the vehicle was only 7 years old. Mechanic stated it was probably due to salt on the road during winter. Replaced the seal. Before long, the drive shaft (?) was making a grinding noise only when accelerating. Took back to mechanic who stated that two bearings and two seals needed replacing. Had these replaced. Quite an expensive fix for a 7 year old car.
