| Description of the problem | Does someone have to get hurt for hyundai to do something about the steering problems. Are they waiting for the car to be out of warranty. I have a 2013 sonata. I have been having the problem since i purchased the car in april 2015 used with low milage from a dealer. It had only 12,000 mile when i purchased it cash. I realized the car had a problem the first week and took it back to then for a recall that was not done and also to have then fix what ever was wrong with the steering. When i returned to pick up the car they told me it was the electronic steering, that i needed to just get used to it. It has been back 2 time and they still refuse to fix the problem. They say they can't find anything. I have driven several electronic steering sonata's newer and none have the problem. It is dangerous and very tiring when driving at high speeds on the hi ways. You have to keep over correcting the steering that keeps pulling to the left and then sticks you have to actually tug slightly on the wheel and after a few hours of driving your arm hurts. I have owned a hyundai 2003 for years and have never had this problem. What good is a 100 thousand mile warranty if they refuse to fix things it. I am taking my car to have it looked at by an independent repair person and have the car diagnosed. Can you please help with this? I have the dealership papers showing the three times i took the car. To be. Checked for the same problem. They tried telling me the car had to be aligned and needed front tires i got both done. When it still had the steering problem i took it back to them and they said the same that they couldn't find anything with the steering. I'm sure the steering needs to be fixed hundreds of people can't have the same problem and be wrong. Just search on the internet and you will see under 2013 hyundai steering problems. We all can't be imaging the same problem. |
