| Description of the problem | I just bought a new 2013 sonata hyundai and have had it in the dealer 2 times for steering problems. They always do something but the problem is still there. When driving the car wonders and i get exhausted driving it also i'm handicapped paralyzed on the left side so i drive with one arm. Had i known of this steering defect i would not have bought the car just left car for the third time for 2 days so they could check it out real good and now its worse, i told them i was afraid to drive it so they sent a tow truck to take it back to the dealer, if their was a way to get out of my contract and give them back there car i would do it in a minute thank you |
