Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Dec 31, 2010
Reported on Dec 31, 2010
| 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA SE 2.0T STEERING ISSUES - PULLS TO LEFT. VEHICLE CONSTANTLY PULLS TO LEFT REGARDLESS OF SLOPE OR CROWN OF ROAD OR TRAVELING SPEED. PULL IS EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE UNDER THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF ACCELERATION. PROBLEM IS EASILY DUPLICATED WITH ECO MODE ON OR OFF, AS WELL AS ECS TRACTION CONTROL ON OR OFF, OR REGARDLESS OF GEAR CAR IS IN. CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS CONSTANTLY EVERY DAY SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT HOME. TOOK BACK TO DEALER SERVICE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS, AND THEY ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, REALIGNED WHEELS, AND RESET ELECTRONIC STEERING, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS AS IT CAUSES GREAT FATIGUE AND STRAIN ON CARPAL TUNNEL IN MY WRISTS AND ARMS WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING CAR TAKES A CONSTANT EFFORT TO HOLD WHEEL TO RIGHT JUST TO CORRECT THE STEERING AND KEEP CAR GOING STRAIGHT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY SONATA OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME THING BUT HYUNDAI HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND ACTS AS IF THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL . *TR | |
