| Description of the problem | Purchased 2012 hyundai sonata in december of 2011. Steering feel is extremely light/loose, especially at highway speeds. Car wants to wander from side to side and constant incremental steering adjustments are needed by the driver to keep the vehicle tracking straight. Creates a danger if over-steer is applied by driver during an adjustment in an effort to keep car straight. Have heard that many owners are having the same problem. *js |
