Can Dodge service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Dodge Avenger, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Dodge Avenger differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Avenger’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your Avenger has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your Avenger’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Avenger's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Avenger.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Avenger?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Avenger. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Avenger.

Does my Avenger transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Avenger’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Avenger forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
