Description of the problem	I bought a new 2011 hyundai sonata gls. From the first day had it i noticed a hard pulling to the left while driving at speeds over 35 mph. The faster i go, the more dramatic the drift. It's extremely hard for me to comfortably drive this car on the expressway due to the constant struggling to keep the car straight. One scary incident occurred when i was getting onto an exit ramp as the steering wheel was jerking the car to the left toward a 10 foot ditch. Also, while stationary, if i pull the steering wheel to 90 degrees to the left and let go, it snaps back to approximately 60-70 degrees left of center. If i pull the wheel 90 degrees rto the right, it again snaps back 60-70 degrees left of center. There is a serious problem here and when brought the car back to the dealership, they said that checking air pressure and test driving it showed no problems. This needs to be fixed as it's a definite safety issue.
