Dodge Nitro owners have reported 1 problem related to transmission failure (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission slams into gear when cold hard shifting until warm. While driving the transmission is slow to shift to a lower gear to allow timely acceleration, causes persistent vibrations while traveling between 40-45 mph. Has not caused any collisions yet but Chrysler has been unable to fix after multiple attempts. My fear is transmission failure or inability to accelerate when needed to avoid a dangerous situation.
