2007-2014 Dodge Avenger: Windshield wipers stop and start.

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 22:47:36 -0700

I recently replaced the windshield wiper motor for my 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T but the wipers continue to stop and start. I purchased a wiper relay but can not find where it should be installed. It does not match any relays inside the fuse box nor the adjacent relay box. Any information where to search would be appreciated. Can you recommend a good repair service manual. The Haynes book is inadequate.

2007-2014 Dodge Avenger: Driver seat headrest protruded

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 17:27:55 -0700

Driver seat headrest protruded from regular position.

Had to slam on brakes and the headrest popped up. So rather than looking like the passenger side it is sticking out by 3-4 inches more. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I'll add a photo asap

2007-2014 Dodge Avenger: Trouble starting car with gas smell

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 03:15:36 -0700

Hello, I have a 2012 dodge avenger. For a while now I've been having a starting issue buts it's been slowly getting worse.

It's hard to start, and smells like gas outside after it does start for a few minutes. Then it's fine, unless it sits for an hour or so, then the whole thing starts over.

The check engine light is on, as well as gas cap message (though I think that's because the gas cap area gets dusty and blocks the sensor). Brand new fuel pump, battery, and the spark plugs are two years old.

2007-2014 Dodge Avenger: Why does all power shut off whilst driving?

Mon, 22 May 2023 05:30:35 -0700

Driving on highway all power/electrical units of vehicle shut off even the steering wheel was very hard to turn. Check engine light doesn't come on. Repair shops can't find anything wrong and couldn't make the situation with power happen again to diagnose and solve the issue. Why is this happening periodically?
