Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Nov 24, 2010
Reported on Nov 24, 2010
| I PURCHASED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA SE TURBO ON NOVEMBER 22, 2010. WITHIN APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE DAYS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SEVERELY PULLING TO THE LEFT. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS OFF CENTERED AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE. I HAD A WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE SAME DAY THAT I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK, IT WAS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT WHICH TIME ANOTHER ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. ONCE I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK THE VEHICLE WAS STILL PULLING SEVERELY TO THE LEFT AND NOW THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT IS A CONSTANT FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH. SIMPLE THINGS SUCH AS USING ONE HAND TO TURN ON THE BLINKERS OR I.E. WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE LEFT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL AS THOUGH THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE HELP CONCERNED DRIVER. | |
