I had this same problem. And if I am thinking of the same straining noise your talking about. Mine sounded like a noise like wet rubber was rubbing hard together? is that the same sound? if it is the same sound, I had to put new front struts in my 1999 Dodge Avenger and it didnt make the sound anymore.
No, a Dodge Avenger will run without oil pressure.
A loose wire would cause the horn to stop working on your Dodge Avenger 2.4L engine.
Could be the alternator has failed.
A broken spring retainer in the shifter.
TORQUE CONVERTER IS A LIKELY CAUSE
The most likely cause is an inoperative radiator fan.
parking brake on.
No, the damper is just a shock absorber.
check the power steering rack or the steering pump
Defective switch, switch not adjusted, blown fuse
Could be a broken Power Steering belt or low fluid level or power steering pump failure.
In the cooling system it transfers heat out through the radiator. If mixed with the gasoline, it can cause rough running or no start. If pulled in through the air filter it can cause a catastrophic failure.
