| Description of the problem | This car was just purchased used. When driving it home we noticed the car constantly wanders on the road requiring constant correction. The hyundai dealer dealer says it's just the electric steering and we are not used to it. I have had electric steering in prior cars but never had this difficulty. I can't tell if it's unsafe but it sure doesn't leave the driver with the feeling of having control. |
