NHTSA Complaint #10561869 — 2011 DODGE AVENGER

HAD WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. ROADS BEGAN TO BECOME LIGHTLY SNOW COVERED. BACK END OF CAR FLOATED, AS IF NOT TOUCHING THE HIGHWAY. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MINIMAL. SLOWED TREMENDOUSLY TO ENSURE A SOMEWHAT SAFE REMAINDER OF TRIP. HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE CARRYING EXTRA PASSENGERS OR WEIGHT IN THE CAR. VERY CONCERNING. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT EVEN THE DEALER SERVICE EMPLOYEES ARE AWARE OF. THERE IS NO REAL FIX. THEY HAVE SET REAR ALIGNMENT TO FARTHEST INWARD POSITION TO COUNTERACT REAR TIRES BOWING OUT WITH WEIGHT. I AM SKEPTICAL THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. THEN WILL MY NEXT WORRY BE WEAR ON THE TIRES DUE TO INCORRECT ALIGNMENT? *TR
