| Description of the problem | Vehicle drifts while on the freeway or doing speeds of over 50 mph. It is very difficulty to keep the car in my lane. Something needs to be done about this as i see it being a safety hazard and i do not feel safe driving it on the freeway. I have noticed that the new 2014 hyundai sonata comes with driver selectable steering mode (dssm) standard on every sonata. I believe every sonata with this problem needs to be recalled and have this feature installed at no cost. |
