Description of the problem	Although my 2011 sonata limited, is in effect an excellent vehicle, it is causing me a great deal discomfort. It is being let down with the worst steering tracking i have ever experienced. The car constantly needs to be eased back and forth to make it stay straight. Over a long ride this is very fatiguing, the slightest lapse in steering control to made an in car adjustment of the radio for example, or to adjust the rear view mirror, can send you towards the guardrail. I am constantly having to make minor steering corrections when driving straight, i have never felt so insecure in charge of a vehicle in my life. For all the great safety measures built into this car, for a fundamental such as the steering, well. You kind of expect it to work. As long as there is tension on the steering wheel, like in a curve or a turn, the steering responds fast and accurate. The second you are on the straight road, the steering wanders. I really feel unsafe, the pleasure i should be having with this car has been replaced with trying to stay straight in my lane. My work involves me flying all over the country so i drive countless rental cars, none have anywhere near the bad steering tracking i'm experiencing. I would like to take it back, but the dealership doesn't think there is a problem, their static tests show the alignment spot on, and i was recommended to drive it for a few thousand miles and i'll get used to it. And the dealer's technician informed me that the sonata always follows the crest of the road. This is not acceptable. I was so concerned i went to safercar. Gov to see if anyone else was having this problem, and found literally dozens of people with this same complaint.
