One problem related to engine clicking and tapping noises has been reported for the 2007 Dodge Nitro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
A constant and loud ticking sound is coming from the 4. 0 v6 engine, the engine stalls and there is loss of power usually when turning a corner. The engine also misfires at times when accelerating. This should be documented as a safety issue, as I am very concerned that this could potentially cause an accident in traffic.
