 Description of the problemPurchased car from lynne's in bloomfield, nj on the 25th of march 2013 from [xxx]. Noticed the steering when i got on the highway that night, but assumed it was a break in period for me to get use to the car, well one month later i was constantly adjusting the steering wheel to get the car to stay in the lane. I spoke to service department manager ([xxx]) about this problem, and was told to bring the car in for them to look at it, earliest date june 6th , i requested a loaner car because once they had the car i had no way of getting to work, i called two days prior to my service date to confirm that there would be a loaner available, i was told if that was the arrangement made on my set up date then the loaner would be there. One day prior to me going to service with the car, i received a call from lynnes service department that no loaner was available, no reason why, it just was not available. I took the car to sansone hyundai on the 18th, my right hand was starting to hurt from holding the steering wheel so tight to keep control of the car. I received a call from the service department ([xxx]) that the car had 60psi on one of the tires, air was checked and adjusted on all the tires and was told to give it a try now? No change, i called [xxx] (customer service) and told him the problems i was having with the car, he recommended i come back in on the 24th of june, dropped off the car, and received a call that afternoon that he ([xxx]) drove the car and found no problems, and maybe this was not the car for me, and that if i had bought the car from his dealership, he might have been able to move me into another car. I've been driving all types of vehicles for over 30 plus years, some with bad alignments and never have i driven anything like this before, it? S a death trap!
