Automobile developed a thumping in the steering and the tire was found to have a broken tread belt. It could be plainly seen in the lateral rippling of the tread. Dealer would not replace the tire but wanted to sell a new set. No cutting or other damage found in tread at point of break. Suspect a tire defect.
My 2005 Hyundai Elantra hydroplanes even at low speeds and skids very easily on slightly wet pavement. My daughter has complained about this to me many times. Tonight she hydroplaned and went into a wooden pole. She wasn't injured and the airbag did not deploy; however, the front fender was damaged. I am going to have it fixed then see about getting rid of the car. It does not seem to be safe.
