Description of the problem	Steering / suspension. I purchased the vehicle new on 01. 09. 2014 out of the showroom. About 3-4 months later, i started to notice the steering and rough ride. The steering was like a vehicle with "jimmy legs" loose and all over the road. I took it back to the dealership to get checked out. First thing it was out of alignment on the front end (left toe -0. 10d, right toe -0. 09d). They checked the suspension and told me that the components were good with no damage or wear including the struts. I told them of how rough the ride is driving at variable speeds on the local roads. Ever since, i have had 5 alignments and still have the same handling and steering problems. I took my vehicle to sears to have an alignment checked and was told the left front was out by -0. 07d. The mechanic told me that i was the 6th person with the same model vehicle to come in there in the past two weeks with the same problems. He stated that the reason for the issues are coming from the electronic steering module. When you adjust the steering wheel to on of the three settings (normal, comfort, sport), it causes the front alignment out. This to me sounds like a design flaw and hyundai does not want to address this issue. I just get tired every time i take it to the hyundai dealership of being told that there is no problem, it is how it is suppose to ride like that due to that it is not a car. I was at hyundai dealership on 06/feb/18, and that is what they told me but i had to pay another $89. 95 for an alignment again, left front was out (toe -0. 15d) right front was out (toe -0. 18d). I was told that the struts and suspension was ok, but could be the tires. I have 29,374 miles on it and i am getting tired of having to bring it in to have the same work done and being told that there is nothing wrong. I have all paperwork to use to show the alignments that were done.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
