Now you must seek a real car technician. demonstrate the issue, have them inspect and find the cause. i do not recommend driving far like that. Get out and look at the area where the sound eminates from. If it were on the steering axle you could turn, advance forward a few inches and repeat till you inspected the tire all the way around, then do the other side. Check the pressures in the others. It could be a mudflap ? a foreign object ? a failed tire casing ? loose parts ?

I had 4 new tires put on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata (previous Hertz Rental Car) about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Yesterday & today I had all 4 TPM'S replaced. Why won't the TPM light stay "cleared?" I bought this car in early 2015 w/58K miles on it. I am at about 107K miles. Have not had any problems with it till now....but, it's ANNOYING. Most importantly, if there is a problem....I won't know it? Also, I have put a full size tire/rim in the trunk....could that make a difference? Should I put the temporary tire back in there?? 2 answers
I have also changed out the stock rims on it, however, didn't have any problems with those rims prior to having the tires put on last week. Not sure how to proceed from here.

windshield washer doesn't work. We checked the fuse inside the car fuse box (it's good) and the relay fuse box area under the hood (the wipers work). I took off the pump and it works when hooked up off the car. The wire powering the pump shows no electricity . Do I have to have the electric wire to the pump checked or could there still be a problem with the relay under the engine hood? Any thoughts? 10 answers
