Problem overview

Some Dodge Avenger owners report experiencing issues related to a faulty alternator, such as the battery light illuminating on the dashboard and engine stalling. Common symptoms include electrical problems, dim lights, slow cranking, and a dead battery, which can leave the vehicle without power and unable to move. When the alternator fails, the battery may temporarily take over but will eventually lose power without the alternator's charging function. Owners are advised to systematically diagnose alternator problems using specific tools and to test the alternator to confirm whether it is the source of the issue. If a faulty voltage regulator is suspected, prompt replacement is recommended to prevent further complications like stalling and battery drainage. Timely resolution of alternator issues is essential for maintaining the vehicle's performance and reliability.
