Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 16 AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS EVER. THE 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH STANDARD STEEL WHEELS DEFINITELY HA A DESIGN PROBLEM. IN THE WINTER, SNOW SLUSH BUILDS UP INSIDE THE WHEEL, CAUSING THE CAR TO VIBRATE SEVERELY ABOVE 30 MPH. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE WHEEL. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND LIVE IN GURNEE, ILLINOIS. *AK
