Description of the problem	I bought a 2011 hyundai sonata 2 weeks ago and found a left pull plus a slight drift to either side when going straight on a highway between 55-80 . It turns well in the corners either left or right but again when going straight it has a tendency to wonder to either side and at times a slight pull to the left. At this point it is just a bit annoying but i am afraid of it getting worse as time goes on. I am placing a call in the am with my dealer and possibly to hyundai assistance to file a complaint. I found this issue when i eased off the steering wheel on a straight stretch of highway for about 3 seconds it will go straight then it will go in either direction on a straightaway. I find that when i have the steering wheel straight it will travel straight for a few seconds and then start veering off to either side. My initial thoughts after reading some posts on the hyundai forums is that it is a disconnect with the electronic steering control computer or the software for it has a flaw in it. My car was built in march of this year and i know from reading posts from back in early 2010 this has been an issue. I don't think it is a front end alignment problem because when you stop the car it goes straight. I'm not sure if tires could be the issue either as many posted that they had all the tires checked and replaced, struts changed, wheel bearings changed, steering angle sensor recalibrated and still the problem persists. I can live with the issue for now but if it gets worse could become a big safety issue. My wife drives this car with my daughter who has a disability. My concern is for them getting into an accident because of this. Or worse causing an accident which claims lives. Again i will go back to the dealer to have this looked at but i am not confident that they will be able to fix this issue. I have read that hyundai engineers have not be able to figure out what is wrong. It's a shame i like the car. Please get hyundai to fix this before someone gets hurt.
