| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Can't keep car going in straight line. Constantly have to correct steering, but can't keep car from wandering into other lanes. This is either going to cause an accident in close places or provoke a police stop for drunk driving. I now have 3,117 miles on the car, and it is dangerous to drive at highway speeds. This is worse in florida due to the 70 mph on interstate i 75. Uncontrollable at legal speeds. Found that hyundai had this problem on 2010 models. Why doesn't nhtsa do something about the new models they are building. |
