| Description of the problem | 2013 hyundai santa fe 2. 4 is having major steering issues. At speeds above 45mph the suv sways all over the road and is almost impossible to maintain control of. If you have any type of wind the suv will change lanes and if you slightly correct it over corrects. I have checked the tire pressure and the tires show no signs a wear. Also the fuel tank will only fill 3/4 full then you have to wait and ever so slowly put the remaining 1. 5-2 gallons in. The mpg is horrible only getting 20mpg at best on the highway. The eco mode drops the fuel economy down to 18mpg when activated. I have not been able to take it to the dealer ship due to work and cannot go without a vehicle. |
