| Description of the problem | Purchased new 2011 hyundai sonata se from oxmoor hyundai in louisville, ky on 10/26/10. Noticed vehicle pulling left on drive home from dealership after purchase. Notified dealership the following day to have vehicle scheduled to be looked at by service department. Took vehicle to service department on 11/1/10 and they performed an alignment, which did not correct the problem. Returned to service department with vehicle on 11/3/10. Tire air pressure checked, alignment checked again and tires were rotated, but vehicle still pulled left. Advised by dealership to return with vehicle to have hyundai factory representative involved with case. Vehicle has been at dealership since 11/7/10. Service rep said they have replaced left side control arm and strut, and are currently getting ready to install camber bolt and re-align vehicle. Vehicle, since we have owned it, pulls to the left frequently, but intermittently, and has yet to have problem corrected after 3 visits to the dealerships service department. |
