| Description of the problem | I have a 2014 hyundai santa fe sport awd. This is my 3rd hyundai. I have really been impressed until now. My car wanders all over the road when driving over 50mph either on a road or interstate. I have to work hard to hold the wheel to keep the vehicle straight. The handling is awful i feel like my car is skating all over the road. Like i am driving on ice. The car is unsafe to drive. I have been to the dealership, had the alignment checked, had a new alignment performed, as well as replace the tires. This has not fixed the issue. I feel it is unsafe to put my 5 year old in the vehicle. I cannot keep the steering straight. What is hyundai doing to fix this issue? I am making payments on a vehicle i feel is unsafe to drive and no one can tell me why? |
