| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The vehicle is extremely hard to control (drifting) at interstate speeds which is more than likely contributing to my premature tire wear. I was told that it is due to the fact that it has electronic steering. I have driven vehicles with electronic steering before and have never experienced such maneuverability problems in any other vehicle like i do in the sonata. I inquired to see if something in the computer could be reset to decrease the sensitivity and was told that there is not. I feel that this is a very serious safety issue. |
