2008 dodge nitro starting problem

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your 2008 Dodge Nitro. Based on the information provided it sounds like there is a starting concern when the engine is cold or after it has sat a half hour or more. If the engine cranks over but has a hard time starting when this occurs this can indicate a lack of fuel to the engine, possibly a fuel pump or other component. If the battery seems weak when this occurs this can indicate a battery or a battery cable concern or possibly even a parasitic battery drain causing the battery voltage to become low. I do recommend having this looked into/tested further to help pinpoint the cause so it can then be repaired properly.
