| Description of the problem | Since day one, my new 2011 hyundai sonata limited turbo has pulled severely to the left. I have returned it to the dealer three times for alignments, steering and camber adjustments, none of which corrected the issue. I have formally reported the issue to hyundai and the dealer has consulted them on the repairs. They are aware. Every loaner vehicle i was given, all 2011 sonatas, all pull severely to the left. This is a major safety concern. Drivers have many distractions, phones, radios, dropping things, kids, pets, putting make-up on, etc. That you must be allowed to remove their hands from the wheel for a few seconds without the car pulled out of the lane. Hyundai must be made to address this widespread issue on the 2011 sonatas immediately. If they can't fix it as it would seem, then they need to buy them back. |
