| Description of the problem | Off the lot our new 2011 hyundai sonata limited turbo constantly pulls to the left. Worse at higher speeds. The dealer originally reported a "bulletin" on the front struts and replaced the left one. After that did not fix the problem a "front-end alignment". No better. The dealer suggested driving for 1k miles to see if it resolved itself----that didn't work either. This is a serious problem---could cause a serious accident. Meanwhile i have a brand new car that won't handle properly. I have notified hyundai customer service twice without a serious response. Will do it again!! |
