Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Nov 30, 2010
Reported on Nov 30, 2010
| CAR HAS A CONSISTENT PULL TO THE LEFT THAT IS ALWAYS PRESENT. THE DEGREE OF THE LEFT PULL VARIES AND IS MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN CRUISING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE MOMENT YOU ARE NO LONGER PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL THE CAR WANDERS LEFT IMMEDIATELY. LEAVE PRESSURE OFF FOR ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AND THE CAR HAS ALREADY DRIFTED AN ENTIRE LANE TO THE LEFT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD BED YOU ARE ON, NOR DOES IT SEEM TO MATTER HOW MUCH OF A CROWN THE ROAD HAS. THE CAR PULLS LEFT UNDER ALL CONDITIONS(KEEPING STEADY RATE OF SPEED WITH ACCELERATOR, KEEPING STEADY RATE OF SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL, CAR IN NEUTRAL ROLLING ALONG, ACCELERATING). A FULL VEHICLE ALIGNMENT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. EVERY SIMILAR CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MINE FROM EXHIBITED THIS SAME BEHAVIOR. *TR | |
