This useless to all the poor saps that purchased prior to the posted date. Chrysler thinking short term again. Not thinking about return business. Shame on Chrysler...

Once I am done with my Nitro, Bye Bye Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep.....

Well going to take another look tomorrow at a new Nitro R/T even if I can not get FT 4WD. The 08 Jeep Liberty has it but not the Nitro looks I want. See that the $750 Rebate is still good too. With this and the new warranty I may save what I loose by buying a 07 over ordering a 08. Looks like the Dealer has a fully-loaded one in stock and that is what I would have ordered. If this doesn't pan-out then I just don't know what I would buy or order from any car company! Guess I'm just hard to please.

This is for sure.......I ordered a R/T in mid Dec......Received it First week in Jan. 07....Had troubles with it as soon as I got it.......Chrysler admitted to the problem......Told me they did'nt know what it was and I would have to live with it till they figured it out........It took 7 mths.......and still not all straightened out.......for 7 mths when I left the house .....I didn't know if I would get back home or not....I have owned 6 dodges since 1997...........And will own NO more.......Why should I have loyalty to them when they have no loyalty to me..........They can go get SCREWED.........It seems that what they want to do to us............With the 3 year- 36 month warrty. we got with this peice of s--t other wise know as crap....I have people come to me at the Mall and at resturants.....and shopping centers wanting to know about my sharp looking SUV , Inferno Red R/T And I tell them!!!!!!!!!They walk away saying " I"m glad I found that out before I bought one".......... In 7 months, I wonder How many sale it has cost Dodge.......They don't care........Well why should I...................One P--ssed off Nitro owner, Wolfie

Well that really pissed me off reading that i got the wife one on friday the 20th for her birthday
