NHTSA complaint #10648842, filed 2014-10, 120,000 miles“When driving in the winter, snow has a tendency to build up on the inside of all the wheels. The inside diameter surface of the wheel is flat not allowing any build up of snow to work its way out causing the wheel assembly to become extremely unbalanced.

The wheel should have been designed with some sort of taper to allow the snow to come out or when melting in the warmer part of the day to fall out, not build up on the bottom of the wheel. This is a constant occurrence that I have to deal with every winter, many times a week. ## VIN failed ##”
