Description of the problem	This vehicle has been having issues with steering since around roughly october 2012. The vehicle pulls left or right on most occasions. I have had this vehicle aligned at the hyundai dealership and at tire kingdom a number of times. The steering still goes to the left or right even after the alignments were done. Every time i take it to hyundai they say nothing is wrong with the car and blame it on alignments most of the time. The last time i went to hyundai i complained about the steering still pulling left or right even after i had just aligned it with them. The only conclusion they can come to was that "i need to keep my hands on the steering wheel to keep it straight" this vehicle year and model has been known in the past to have issues with the steering going left or right on its own. I have taken it to the dealership a number of times and finally decided to put a claim in on the vehicle through they're corporate office. I feel this vehicle is a danger to myself, my family and others. A car should be able to drive straight on a road even if you only let the car go for a second. I have another vehicle that doesn't have this issue at all. I have documentation on the times i have taken the vehicle in and expressed that this car was not safe and have only been turned away. Iv expressed that iv felt at times that while the car is pulling i have to use a certain amount of strength to keep the car straight, this should not be the case with any vehicle especially only being 3 years old. Hyundai doesn't feel like there is an issue with my car and i completely disagree, there have been other cases with hyundai customers that have bought this year, make and model vehicle and have had the same issue. I would like this to be looked into before an accident occurs due to this steering issue.
