2013 2.4L SXT - Bought it in 2015 with 45K miles, currently at 203K. No major issues, just normal DIY replacements (thermostat, ignition coils, alternator, brakes and rotors). Paid off a couple of years ago and has been a good reliable daily driver.

These issues are relatively minor compared to things that would cause a catastrophic failure to the engine or transmission. Seems like a solid runner to me.

Today marks two years exactly with my 2014 Dodge avenger. I am currently the second owner and have recently experienced about two of these issues. The first one was my alternator. Just as you explained in the video, my battery died due to a bad alternator. Fortunately, I was able to get another battery within my warranty. However, the alternator I did have to purchase and replace on my own. Total cost for that was about $250. Labor done by me. The second issue I had was the throttlebody. turns out all it needed was a good cleaning which cost me about eight dollars. Yes, I took the throttlebody out for the cleaning process. So far, I’m fortunate enough to not have experienced the other issues. In the name of Jesus I pray that this car continues to take me from place to place.

The avengers suck!!!!! Have had to replace an alternator, starter, coils plugs, MULTIPLE THERMOSTAT HOUSINGS…. Not to mention the countless failed thermostats right out of the box…. I literally just replaced the whole housing assembly and have triggered a p0128 because the NEW THERMOSTAT failed. Plus the countless electrical issues. The main fuse box location gets destroyed in the engine bay. I would rather drive a Prius

I've had mine since brand new 2014 and it has 120k miles and only thing that has gone bad is the heater core which developed a leak. And it has a short in the turn signal switch wiring which causes the dome lights to come on occasionally. I "fixed" that by turning the dimmer switch to half way position. Other than that and replacing battery after 6 years which is to be expected, it runs great. Normal maintenance is key though. I change the oil & filter at 3000-3500 miles. I replaced the transmission fluid at 120k miles like the manual says to. Good car overall. No regrets buying it.

Engine oil cooler assembly, alternator, did all 4 hubs (didn’t need to do all of them, did them because one needed to be replaced), blower motor actuator, power window motor in passenger side. Power mirrors recently stopped working. Fuse? I now have an front end issue, front right excessive wear. I got all 4 new tires and rotation. I did not rotate them like I should of.. Have not looked into the slight noise front end issue yet. Cars sagging, need to do struts soon. But overall, a pretty good car 😂

May try that next- or just try change coil again - in case the new one is just faulty - I’m checking out videos for tips first

I love the car just that it takes time to get up to speed , I know it’s not a sports car but I have a mini van that takes of faster , the communication between the gas and response time is at least 8 seconds. It’s very slow to get on freeway. Once it’s on the freeway at 60 it can easily go to 70 . Is there a solution? Or it’s manufacture defect?

Spot on. Have 2011 avenger. Got it years ago with 50k miles, has 185k now. So far had to replace the alternator and thermostat twice. Been trying to diagnose the improper idle which looks like the throttle body. Other than that it’s been very reliable even after a couple minor collisions. Took em like a champ and is running strong

Umm when he was describing the thermostat he failed to mention that the 2.4 DOHC has (2) thermostats. And if u have an overheating problem be sure sure to change both to avoid damage to your motor or future overheating problems.

Was really hoping u wld have an answer for the problem we are having with my sons Avenger.. the starter will just randomly engage while driving down the road… we have replaced the starter twice, replaced the ignition switch, replaced ignition coils, replaced alternator as well as changed spark plus and a general tune up.. our mechanic is stumped.. and I have a hard time paying our local dealer $250 an hr just to look at it with a minimum of 2hrs..

You missed one very common as I see on internet: the transmisión stuck in limp mode (or entering in limp some times other not, but mostly when warm) because of a bad pcm, shows the errors p0700-p0760 but changing the solenoid pack or speed sensors donˋt solve it, only changing the pcm and programming it. I don’t know what causes this, but happened to mine after 10 years an 80k km. I opened the old pcm and looks like they used very bad components for thermal transfer, so the pcm heats more and puts a lot of stress on smd components making them to fail.

Sounds like what mine does , fires right up sometimes & runs great until it gets close to op temp then it goes into some limp mode where there’s only 3 trans speeds & it runs 58-60 mph @ 3,000 rpm but will not shift into overdrive. Complete pain in the rear!

+Sessa Mak The fuse that regulates the operation of the windshield wiper pump is located, together with all the relays and fuses, inside the special fuse box. This is often located inside the passenger compartment, but in some car models it is located in the engine compartment

I have a 2012 Avenger that has 2 thermostats that had to be replaced at around 60,000km. Drained the anti-freeze twice so far (Car currently has 110,000km) and had to replace the hoses once. It seems this car has a defective engine coolant system which requires the anti-freeze to be replaced every 30,000km. FCA refuses to acknowledge this issue. Besides that it's a great car.

I have a 2010 avenger r/t and it's been great except I'm having this temperature light now. I replaced that hard plastic housing outlet along with the two thermostats about 2 months ago. Now I just started to hear a bubbling noise from that area. After reading about the faulty part from your posting. Do you have any advice so I can try fixing it myself.

Currently my 2012 is having issues with nice hot air coming from the driver side vents and cold air on the passenger side vents. Any ideas anyone? Oh and its also leaking coolant and puddeling on top of the tranmission case. Tried to find the leak but its a very small leak and not leaking while sitting still. Ty!
@AWeiss1991
@AWeiss1991 3 жыл бұрын
I have a 14 2.4L SE, had the same issues. Hot/cold mix coming from the vents(assuming you're talking about with a/c engaged) indicates a low refrigerant charge and/or blend door. With both possibilities, I would suggest having a professional look at it or prepare to read a LOT to educate yourself on how to diagnose a/c systems. Mine ended up being a leaking condenser. If you look above the puddle on the transmission housing, that's where you'll probably find the source of the coolant leak. Clean every drop of coolant around the area and pay close attention to where new drops form. In my case it was a slow leak coming from the gasket in the thermostat housing that mounts to the block. Only a few bucks from Rockauto, etc. Again, do your due diligence! The coolant you'll need to fill with after spilling during repair is also unnecessarily specific and could cause issues if mixed with the wrong one... Definitely possible to do anything yourself, just take your time to prepare
