The Avenger (2007 to 2014) is a midsize front-drive sedan. It uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, 2.7- and 3.5-liter V6 engines, and from 2011 the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.


Model year 2009 is part of the Avenger (JS) generation (2008–2014). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2009 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2009 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “9”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 17 years old, a 2009 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 2008 Dodge Avenger, 2010 Dodge Avenger, 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2012 Dodge Avenger, 2013 Dodge Avenger, 2014 Dodge Avenger.
