2012 Dodge Avenger Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Avenger towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Avenger is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Avenger transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2012 Avenger’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Dodge, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Dodge Avenger? Yes, your Dodge Avenger can develop a transmission fluid leak.
