Steering Wheel Shakes Stops Shakes At High Speed?
I Have a 2004 Honda CRV i bought brand new tires for and they drove perfectly fine and smooth
later that night i got a puncture and a flat tire which i fixed with a plug kit with no leaks
the next day when i sped up to 65 miles an hour the steering wheel will shake a little for half a second then stop for a second then shake again over and over
the faster i go over 65 the shake stop gets faster
and under 65 it drives smooth as glass
Is this a major concern?
Yes. It is.
The plug made it go out of balance. Take it back to the dealer for replacement (if you paid for that).
If you didn't pay for road hazard insurance/replacement then have them remove the plug and patch it. Followed by a new balance.

Somethings not right. Either there's a defect in one of the tires, your plug kit caused a problem, or one of the tires was improperly balanced, or the lug nuts are loose. I would go back to the shop you bought them from and have them figure it out.
Plugging the tire may have caused an inability for the tire to be properly balanced, which would indeed cause a shake or vibration. Have the tire center who plugged the tire rebalance it for you. Hopefully that will be sufficient to cure the vibration.
- Dropped motorcycle - engine sputters then stops. Later on starts, but stops again? I dropped my 2000 Honda Nighthawk CB750 on its right, picked it up in It was riding fine right after, then about 10 minutes later it sputtered and stopped while riding. Looked like the battery and starter motor were fine, engine just couldn't turn over. About 10 minutes later it started, and I rode for a couple miles. A few hours later I rode it again, but it only lasted about 2 miles before stopping again. I waited a few hours after that it started again. Does anybody have suggestions?
- In high speed curves and straighaways can my car keep up with either of the cars? My car is an 03 Honda Element 4 spd automatic and I'm comparing the a 98 Altima auto and a 2006 Mazda 3i 5 speed.
- Honda owners: is there a difference in top speed between 4 speed and 5 speed element? My car is an 03 auto awd ex. I'm just curious, what top speed before drag effect comes into Affect? Can it achieve over 100 mph? I've heard that it can do 1-10 but I'm not sure whether that's for the 5 speed or the automatic bc the extra gear makes a difference in my opinion.
- Freeway driving more difficult to drive speed limit than to speed? Driving on freeway slower its more difficult than driving faster is it because the car is lighter or higher rpms give you more control or what i drive a fwd stock Honda thanks it's a lot easier to drive at 80 than 60
