    There's one more complaint with NHTSA.

    Any complaint with NHTSA should include the stability factor, which will get their attention much more quickly. Some of the measurements I have seen on this forum are danger factors in increased accidents. Once they get involved it just gets more expensive, to say nothing of potential lawsuits.

    Probably no one here outside of myself and 3dplane have actually experienced the rear axle out of alignment, then in alignment. Mine was not near as bad as his which ate his tires up. I'll bet my tires last 2 to 3 times longer.

    regards

    Hey, I'm in SA too, and I got my Mirage from Mission too. Who did you deal with to get this fixed? How did it all go?
