Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
