Mine did this the other day. I looked at the wheels and there was a very small build-up of ice on the rims. When we finally got a warm day and the ice melted, the car returned to normal.

5- Check for any loose nut on the wheelIt happend to me on my Cavalier. 3 nut out of 5 were loose, creating lot of vibration. It was not happening while accelerating of braking, only while cruising at the same speed.
