Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Avenger 2.4L L4.
The 2007 Dodge Avenger 2.4L L4 is a JS-platform sedan powered by a 2.4-liter inline-four, and in owner-reported data it registers just two complaints with four recalls on record. Its most reported problem area is Engine & Engine Cooling, so researchers should treat the cooling system and four-cylinder powertrain as the primary focus when evaluating this year. Across the 1995–2015 Avenger run, complaint volume peaks at 844 for the 2008 model and bottoms at one for 2015, placing the 2007 model among the quieter years in the nameplate's history and making it a useful baseline for comparing later, more troubled vintages.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
From 1995 through 2000 the complaint count fell steadily from 233 to 31, and the 2007 model year continued that downward trend with only 2 complaints—the lowest in the entire dataset. Recalls for 2007 were 4, which is slightly below the 2008 figure of 6 and above the 2009‑2010 range of 2‑3, placing it in the middle of the surrounding recall activity. Investigations were zero in 2007, matching the pattern of no investigations in the years immediately before (2000‑1995) and after (2008‑2015) except for isolated spikes in 2008, 2011‑2014. Technical service bulletins remained moderate at 29, comparable to the 24‑73 range seen in the prior decade and lower than the post‑2008 increases that exceed 50. Overall, the 2007 Dodge Avenger shows exceptionally low complaint volume, no investigations, and a recall level that is not extreme relative to neighboring years, indicating it is a favorable year to consider for purchase.
