Description of the problem | My sonata continues to pull to the left. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer multiple times. They checked the alignment and force balanced the tires a few times. Eventually they told me it was my tires causing the problem. So they put a set of 4 brand new wheels and tires from another car onto mine. The problem still persisted. So they didnt know what to do and contacted an huyndai rep who stated the vehicle performed as designed. If the vehicle performed as designed why did your service techs check my alignment and force balance my tires 3 or 4 times? Why did they put another set of wheels and tires on my car if there was no problem? Its very dangerous because if i take my hand off the wheel it pulls into the other lane. Other consumers have complained of the same thing and some even had their car replaced. I filled a corporate complaint with hyundai but they agree with the rep that the is performing as designed. |
