Description of the problem | Leased 2011 hyundai sonata on 6/21/11. On 6/25 with 140 miles on the odometer i noticed a strong pull to the left at about 35 mph. Needed to actively correct steering to keep car in a straight trajectory. I immediately checked tire pressure looked under the car for anything obvious but found nothing. Did not drive on high speed roadway until many days later and found that at 65 mph the problem was the same. After july 4th holiday i telephoned hyundai dealership and they told me to make an appointment, they said they had never heard that before. I did not go to the dealership thru today 8/15/11. I have however seen the numerous same complaints about the 2011 sonata. I wanted to make my own self heard as to this problem. It continues today and i am going to go to the dealership but expect the same stonewalling i have read about. |
