Description of the problem	2011 hyundai sonata (new in november 2010), from day one excessive drifting to the left that is more noticeable at 60 mph or higher, but occurs at all speeds. Dealership has aligned it 3 times and rotated wheels to no benefit. They claim it is normal. I have filed this safety concern and defect with hyundai customer relations on 03-16-11. They claim to have no other complaints like this, which has to be a total lie because of the many forums on the internet squawking about the same or similar issue. There videos now posted of the problem. I was told i would be contacted by 03-22-11. This extremely dangerous, as you need only remove your hand from the wheel for a split second and the lane drifting starts. I have been able to take left handed highway exits without having my hands on the wheel an please note-these are not gradual sweepers but 30 to 40mph ramps!. My recently licensed 17yr old drifted slightly and started to cross into an oncoming vehicle traveling the opposite direction that was riding close to the center line. Thank god my wife was with her to provide corrective directions. Hopefully no one as been injured or killed due to this defect! Help!
