Description of the problem | 2015 hyundai elantra. 2 years old. Driver's side tire (and passenger's side, but not as much) starts thumping when driven over 60 mph, or will inconsistently start thumping randomly at different speeds. Feels very unsafe as it feels like i am driving on a flat tire. Each time that this has happened, i had to pull over on the highway to check if i actually had a flat tire, but did not. First time i noticed this was a few months ago. I dismissed the problem because i thought the issue was just a bumpy highway, as the problem disappeared after exiting. From there on, the car drove smoothly until i reached my destination. I did not have that problem again until a few months later. The thumping started happening randomly on roads that i drove smooth on before, so i knew it was not a bad road issue. This car needs a recall as it is already causing me life threatening problems only at 2 years old. I am also having issues with brakes and steering, but they appear minor to the tire problem. |
