SUSPENSION, STEERING
ODI ID NUMBER : 10010329 ODI ID NUMBER : 10016373 PLEASE ADD ME TO THE LIST OF HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS WHO HAVE SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH AND HYUNDAI HAS NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE TROUBLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE TROUBLE HAVE BEEN FRUITLESS. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE WITH MILEAGE UNTIL THE STEERING OR TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF AT 65 MPH. *NLM
