Dodge Nitro Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Dodge Nitro rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
We need more owners to participate before we can provide a Vehicle Reliability Survey result for the Nitro.
To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Dodge Nitro--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.
Dodge Nitro Repair Histories
To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Dodge Nitro repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both the Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:
Think you might have a lemon, and want to see if other owners are having similar problems? Then this is the place to check.
Extended Warranty
Considering an extended warranty? You don't want a provider that might go under. Warranty Direct, a 27-year-old firm, has sold two million contracts and paid $500 million in claims.
Dodge Nitro Extended Warranty
Concerned about the Dodge Nitro's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.
Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.
If you are unsure about the Dodge Nitro's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Dodge Nitro Gas Mileage

Dodge Nitro Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Dodge Nitro tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Dodge Nitro--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
