Description of the problem | Purchased hyundai sonata 2. 0t limited on december 30th. Prior to purchasing i mentioned to the salesman that the vehicle seemed to pull to the left. Since it was friday i brought vehicle in on monday jan 3. Service department put it on the alignment rack but had trouble getting it into specifications as evidenced by the invoice notes. Picked it up jan 4th. With assurance that it was handled. Problem persisted. Brought it back on 5th. With the same problem. Wheel still pulls to the left on all surfaces and you have to apply constant pressure on wheel to keep vehicle running straight. Picked up again from service department on 6th. Drove off of the lot and problem still apparent. The car has only 378 miles on it. They told me it was in specifications and there was "nothing more they could do for me." i am concerned for the safety of this. If you release the wheel under any circumstances the vehicle drifts into the lane left of me. |
