Hello, I have a 2010 Dodge Avenger, about 3 days ago my car started shaking when I started going about 45 mph, but when I hit 71+ it stops. What could be the problem?

85% of the time it is a tire balance problem-IMHO. But not to rule out bent rim, tire irregularities of a loose steering/suspension item.

Well the first signs of vibrations are usually first looked at from the balance of the tires, which should be balaced every six thousand miles or suspention issues. The first thing a mechanic might ask is at what speeds does this happen, which is very important. Logically get your tires balanced you have not done so in the last six thousand miles and if vibrations continue then have your cv joints and struts or shocks checked by your local mechanic.
If you have any questions about what signs to look for on tires or suspention that could cause this issue just let me know.

Hope this helps!
