I've owned my Nitro RT, from new. I bought it on Oct. 31, 2007. It had a couple hickups with the HVAC system. Okay. virtually every part of it was replaced under warranty. Aside from that, I've put 112,000 miles on it and had only a few small things break. Window regulator. Window button. Key FOB. I was looking at other new SUV's like the Highlander and Murano, and have decided to keep my Nitro. It's worth putting in the $3,000 of 100,000 mile maintenance on. The biggest down side to the Nitro? Suuuuuuper chinsey interior. But I guess that developement money was spent on better mechanics. I'm super happy with my RT!
I would recommend this van to anyone looking to save money. The features in this Dodge Caravan is just as good as a Toyota or any of the other vans that are well over 30,000. I've owned Toyota's and Mitsubishi and I feel it handles very well, the ride is smooth,
Had Check Engine Light come on, turned out cylinder 6 was defective and had to be replaced. Luckily, Fiat-Chrysler put an extended warranty on it 10yr/150k and got replaced for free. But what about the other 5 cylinders? Google this phrase "Chrysler replacing cylinder heads on select Pentastar V6 powered models" Water goes into the trunk lid, then into trunk via spoiler. Heater core got clogged, so, very poor heat in the cabin during winter times. This is not under any warranty, up to $1200 to fix. Had to have Heater Actuator replaced multiple times.
