Is Your Dodge Avenger Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a car you can’t rely on. If your 2008 Dodge Avenger is experiencing erratic behavior, random check engine lights, or has simply left you stranded, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. This critical component is the brain of your vehicle, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of confusing and stressful problems. You don’t have to put up with the guesswork or pay exorbitant dealership prices for a solution. We have the precise, reliable fix you need to get your car back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM needs replacement:
- Check Engine Light: The light is on with communication-related codes (U-codes) or internal processor fault codes (P0600-P0606).
- Stalling or Misfiring: The engine cuts out unexpectedly while driving or runs poorly, with inconsistent power.
- No-Start Condition: You turn the key, the engine cranks, but it refuses to start, even with a good battery and fuel.
- Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your vehicle’s MPG.
- Shifting Problems: In automatic transmissions, you may experience harsh or erratic shifting.
This pre-programmed 2008 Dodge Avenger ECM is the definitive solution to these issues. It’s designed to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and eliminate the problems caused by a failing original unit. We take care of the complex programming so you can focus on the simple installation.

An Expert’s Take: The Dealership Programming Headache
“As a technician for over 20 years, I’ve seen countless customers get stuck between a rock and a hard place. They buy a used computer online, only to find out the dealership wants hundreds of dollars and a week of their time just to program it—and sometimes, they refuse to program customer-supplied parts at all. A pre-programmed 2008 Dodge Avenger ECM bypasses this entire nightmare. It puts the power back in the hands of the vehicle owner or their trusted local mechanic. It’s the smartest, most efficient way to solve a complex electronic problem.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” really mean?
“Plug & Play” means the module is ready for installation right out of the box. We use your vehicle’s VIN to pre-program it with the correct software and security information. Once installed, the car will recognize it as the original unit, and no further programming or key relearning is necessary.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep your old module or recycle it locally.
How do I find my part number to ensure compatibility?
Your original ECM’s part number is printed on a sticker on the unit itself. While this module is compatible with a long list of part numbers (listed in the specifications), the most important factor is providing your VIN during checkout. We use the VIN to guarantee a perfect software match.
Will this fit my 2007 Chrysler Sebring?
Yes, this ECM is also compatible with 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring models equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.5L engine, as well as the 2008 Dodge Avenger with the same engine options.
What if I install it and still have problems?
While this ECM will fix issues related to a faulty computer, it cannot fix underlying mechanical or wiring problems. If issues persist after installation, we recommend a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s wiring harnesses and sensors. Our one-year replacement warranty covers the unit itself against any defects.
