Dodge Nitro owners have reported 2 problems related to engine rattling and whining sounds (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving at about 20-30 mph. My car started making a whining sound then my dashboard lit up with multiple lights starting with the battery and then all of them. Luckily I was able to get to the side of the road before it completely died. I had it towed to a garage. They tried changing the alternator and battery. It still won't turn on. It is now at a dealership and currently can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Whistling noise coming from vehicle. Doors have been adjusted and windshield resealed, neither of these fixed problem. Listened under hood and appears to be coming from head gasket/air intake area. Possible issue with head gasket being wrong size.
