| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) i bought the new hyundai genesis (motor trend of the year 2009). I soon realized (within 200 miles of new car ownership) that car was pulling to the left (sever pull) and to maintain a constant pressure to the right side on the steering (steering at 15 degree right angle) to maintain car drive straight. Very soon i researched the unique problem. Almost all hyundai genesis owners have made similar complaints to hyundai dealers. Hyundai has been hiding a huge potential problem with new genesis model (2009). Many owners have been complaining and no action is being taken by the company. Hyundai is trying to blame this issue on tires - that is deflect their issue to someone else. But this is not the case. To verify, research this problem by google. Com - "hyundai genesis steering issue and left or right pull" and you will get more than hundred similar complaints from new owners since 2008/2009 model release. I have been to the dealer 3 times to fix this issue within 3000 miles - but hyundai dealers are just performing alignments - but doesn't fix the problem. We need help from nhtsa (government) as thousands of customer like myself are stuck - and a powerful foreign corporation is unwilling to budge!! Please help - i am willing to donate my car for your testing. But this is a disaster waiting to happen as steering doesn't drive straight and veers of to left (or right). Do americans need to die before you take any actions? Please call me [xxx] to discuss. Thanks. |
