 Description of the problemShortly after getting my van i felt that it did not handle properly. I experieced hydro planning when brand new to me. Tracking upon acceleration was pore. Very poor tracking at acceleration going into a turn at start up speed. I called chrysler and they said there had been no complaints to date. By suggestion, i paid $100 for an alignment. The alignment did not help with this matter. Any type of precipitation affects the tracking of the vehicle. Any painted lines on the road affect traction. It seems that the traction control is the problem, or maybe the yokohama avid tires are the problem. When i accelerate in any given situation my tires will spin or traction control slips back and forth as i cross over any reflective surfaces (lines on road, or stop strips, or crosswalks). I have had to learn to stop on road surface, prior to crossing any differentiated surfaces. Right turn on red is mostly forbidden, as i may spin my way out in front of faster moving traffic. This van now has 24,000 miles on it, and the tires need replaced from the spin in acceleration.. At 2 1/2 years old, i am concerned enough to trade for a different make. I have owned a 1992 dodge caravan, a 2007 town & country, and now this 2016 dodge caravan. My friend who works for the state of pennsylvania, has to use a new dodge caravan, on occasion, out of their fleet , he too agreed that tracking was an issue wth the van going straight down the road. I find it very hard to believe that i am one of two people to complain on this vehicles handling. Today 02/10/2019 we received one inch of snow. I was heading out for errands. My tracking was horrible. I had to anticipate actions of others an myself well in advance. I stopped at a red light on a other than level down hill slope (very mild), aniticpated vehicles ahead moving, i left of my brake to roll. Turning at 5mph, i lost control
