Found this "Online" that at least worked for another Nitro owner. Might want to give this a try?

I was thinking that if the heater core was not operating at 100% you would surly receive more heat from the RS vents since the heater core is located at the far right side behind the glove box. Just a thought.

I have 2007 R/T with 123K miles and have the same heat problem with cold air out the left side vents but hot air on passenger side. Changed all three actuators with no change. Also replaced the control panel that has all three knobs to select Heat-A/C and blower speed settings, etc... Statement of early year Nitro's had an issue with the distribution flap or foam coming loose inside and keeping the flap inside the heater case from moving properly looks to be the problem unless someone else has any other ideas...

HVAC blowing cold in one half of the Nitro
Suggestions would be appreciated. The vent next to the drivers side door has always blown cold for some reason. Never paid much attention to it as the vehicle still got warm inside. However now the drivers side vent in the center console is also blowing cold? The vent right next to it still blows warm as does the vent next to the passengers side door. I'm confused, all the blower settings work and I am still getting hot air from 2 vents, even when idling, so I assume the heater core isn't plugged. It has been cold this week, single digits, but its Wisconsin and it gets cold every year and we haven't had an issue before.

Welcome and you are not alone. I have posted several Links on your issue and I'm sure there are more. Not sure there is one answer but it could be that the plastic distribution box under the center of the dash is not working properly. Could be a solenoid or that foam inside has caused a obstruction? It would be helpful to others here to report back what you find to correct this ongoing issue on Nitro. Good Luck
Radiator vs. coolant?

Car Heater Not Working - Troubleshooting Repair Tips
Published on Oct 1, 2013
When a car heater doesn't work, the most common cause is low coolant. When troubleshooting to try and repair the car heater, check the coolant ONLY when the engine is cold. That's because removing the coolant cap on a hot pressurized system can result in severe burns. If a cooling system is full and there's still no hot air coming from the vents, there could be air trapped in the system. A Lisle coolant funnel can be used to burp air out of the system if the pressure cap goes directly on the radiator in your system. If the pressure cap is located on the reserve bottle and not the radiator the Lisle funnel will not help. The bottle in that case does the same thing as the funnel as explained in the repair video. However the Vacuum fill system by FJC can be used to fill cooling systems and eliminates air being trapped by using vacuum and the coolant is drawn into the system. The link to our car repair article with more tips and tools mentioned in the video is here - Wise Auto Tool Blog » Car Heater Not Working? Troubleshooting, How to Fix Repair Tips...

i kinda have that issue. I have a 2011 nitro shock edition. I got it last year in march, and i love it. When i have the heater on on the floor the passenger gets some heat i get cold breezes on the driver side. Not only most of the heat comes out of the window vents. I do have a warranty ($100 deductable) i dont know if itll be better to do that or take it to a garage to get fixed.
Any help is appreciated

Diagnose and Fix No Working Heat
Published on Jan 23, 2017
I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty with a heating problem. I will show you what I have checked and fixed to get it up and running again. This works for 2008 and newer models of the Jeep Liberty's. Also should work for 2007 and newer Dodge Nitro's.
1. Heater Core: This most likely will be your main issue. Mine was already leaking and a replacement is a must to avoid future problems. Could try flushing the heater core.
2. Blower engine: It's under the dash, passenger side and easy to replace.
3. Climate Control Panel: Circuit or knobs go bad, but easy to get to. Remove center panel, which also gives you access to the radio.
4. Blend Door Motor: Could be stuck or need replacement. When you take this off, do not move the climate control knobs.

2008 Dodge Nitro heater core no heat
Dec 3, 2017
I replaced the heater core of my girlfriends 2008 Dodge Nitro 3.7 V6. I am hoping this video gives you some helpful tips. This is not to be a full step by step video, this is meant to help you get started and also to show how most of the dash comes apart.
One thing i forgot to mention in the video is you will need to refill your A/C after you do this job.

Trying to figure out what is going on with on with air on my nitro. It blows air at the head and defrost but when I place it on the feet it comes out the defrost
I witnessed the mode door actuator turning the round dial so not sure what is going on
I went in through the front console by taking the radio out and can feel the damper moving just not sure why it doesn’t come out at the feet

Hi Greg54
The A/C and Heater controls on the Nitro are hard to understand so maybe it is only not set correctly. Hopefully this could be a real fix at no cost.
Pressing the Recirculation Control button will put the system in recirculation mode.
Air Conditioning Control
Press this button to engage the Air Conditioning. A light will illuminate when the Air Conditioning System is engaged. Rotating the dial left into the blue area of the scale indicates cooler temperatures while rotating right into the red area indicates warmer temperatures.
MAX A/C
For maximum cooling use the A/C and recirculation buttons at the same time.
I use this setting anytime I have the air on.
The other problem could be that the deflector door inside the housing is broken or jammed, This is more of a project and if you determine this may be the issue let us know since that is also covered here and I will direct you to that Thread.
Good Luck and let us know what you find.
