Consumer Description

REAR SHIFTS SIDE WAYS WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON ROAD. DRIVING IN SNOW OR ICE IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE REAR IS ALWAYS SLIDING BACK AND FORTH HAD CAR CHECKED AND DODGE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ASIDE FROM GIVING ME A PANIC ATTACK EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT FROM THIS PROBLEM. THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE REAR SWAY BAR BEING MOUNTED IN THE WRONG PLACE OR SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING. ALSO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES SO I HAD ALL NEW TIRES PUT ON AND THAT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T THE PROBLEM. I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT IT IS MY ONLY OPTION. *TR
