| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The vehicle is a 2011 sonata turbo limited. The vehicle has a steady pull to the left during acceleration which affects the vehicles ability to maintain a straight line on the roadway. At higher speeds it is more noticeable and in my opinion a safety hazard due to the vehicles quick jerky motion and strong pull to the left if you should let go of the steering wheel. It is not an alignment issue as the vehicle drives straight when you are not accelerating . It's constant fatigue on the driver's arms maintaining proper steering as a result of the pull. |
