| Description of the problem | - main symptom. : unstable driving condition. 1. Steering won't be perfectely centered after making turn ( both left and right) as much as 1/2 inches at any speed. 2. Easely wandered even after manually centered. It has a driver make adjustments constantly. Simply, my car doesn't go straight. In order to keep track, i need to keep making steering adjustments at any speed. I feel like unstable, wandering on highway. I visited dealer, issued case to hyundai customer center. But dealer said there is no solution (they did their best) , customer ctr. Said there is no safety issue.(not sure but seems like they noticed) since my 20 more yrs driving. This is the most ridiculous experience. Whatever they said, this is definitely safety issue. Please check it out. |
