Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Oct 30, 2010
Reported on Oct 30, 2010
| MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T LIMITED PULLS TO THE LEFT AT ALL SPEEDS (NOT TORQUE STEER). THE CAR REQUIRES CONSTANT CLOCKWISE PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO KEEP THE CAR FROM VEERING TO THE LEFT. THE PULL OCCURS IN ALL LANES, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE LEFT LANE WHERE IT WILL LEAVE THE ROAD IN APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS WITHOUT A STEERING CORRECTION. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR THE LEFT PULL ISSUE FIVE TIMES NOW, AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY CONCERN, THE TIRES WILL WEAR PREMATURELY AND IN AN UNEVEN FASHION. SINCE THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE A VIABLE SOLUTION, HYUNDAI SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT A RECALL AT THIS POINT IN TIME. | |
