Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Oct 10, 2010
Reported on Oct 10, 2010
| I HAVE A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. I WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING AND SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY. MY HANDS COULD NOT STOP OR STEADY THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SWITCH THE ENGINE OFF, AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND SHUDDER FOR FIVE MINUTES FOLLOWING. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS FRIGHTENING AND HAS REALLY SHAKEN UP MY CONFIDENCE WITH THE SONATA. THANKS GOODNESS I WAS NOT TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. I STRONGLY URGE OTHER 2011 SONATA OWNERS TO GET THEIR VEHICLES TO THE DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS HYUNDAI HAS NOW ISSUED A RECALL ON THE STEERING. *TR | |
