| Description of the problem | I have had issues with my hyundai sonata gls from day 1 (purchase date 8/31/11) with regards to the steering alignment. The car will either drift or pull to the right. I returned it for service 3 days after i purchased the car and they "fixed the alignment". I returned the car on 10/10/11 with the same problem and they told me that hyundai recently issued a recall just a "couple of weeks ago" which i cannot find and that hyundai has found a fix for this problem. They checked the alignment and said it was "spot on" and they did something to the tires. According to the service center this will fix the problem. The car still drifts to the right. *kb |
