When to Service Your 2014 Dodge Avenger Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Dodge Avenger radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2014 Dodge Avenger is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Dodge recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.

Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
