| Description of the problem | My wife purchases a new 2013 hyundai santa fe 2t in june. She doesn't t drive much on the highway. I just came home from being away for a while. Drove the car on the highway. I thought something was wrong with it. So, i came to this website. Found out this is a problem. Control is horrible. Car drifts from side to side. You have to constantly move steering wheel to keep the car going straight. It's like in the old days when there is play in the steering wheel. Not safe. Car should not drift either way. Sometimes you over compensate to bring the car straight. I have never experienced this with any car in the last 20 yrs i have had. |
