Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Dec 23, 2010
Reported on Dec 23, 2010
| VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT ON ANY ROAD SURFACE WHEN GOING OVER 40 MPH. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HELD TO CENTER, THE CAR DRIFTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITHIN A FEW SECONDS (2 OR 3). THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE ONE MUST CONSTANTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. OVER LONG DRIVES THIS CAUSES MAJOR ARM FATIGUE DUE TO CONSTANT READJUSTMENT. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER USER REPORTS THIS PROBLEM SEEMS WIDESPREAD AND IS NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY HYUNDAI AS AN ISSUE. MANY VEHICLES ARE BEING RETURNED TO CUSTOMERS WITH A BLANKET STATEMENT OF, WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN DO. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR | |
