Sonata Hybrid

  • 20 miles
This vehicle has electric power steering. When driving on the highway, it is impossible to keep the car tracking straight. It is not a tire issue, nor is it a crown in the road issue. The vehicle must continuously be corrected to keep in a straight line. Windy conditions cause the vehicle to radically respond to adjustments, so does a large truck in front of my vehicle. Hyundai states there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. If you go online, there are thousands of Hyundai customers with the same electric steering issues mimicking my issues to a tee, and they say Hyundai is "stonewalling" them, telling them there is nothing wrong, there is learning curve driving an electric power steering vehicle. How can thousands of Hyundai customers have the same problem" why isn't your organization looking into to this? there was a recall of the electric power steering on Hyundai vehicles in 2007. Doesn't that show you that they had a problem, and maybe they only put a bandaid on an open wound? finally, I was driving to work on route 295 South in NJ 3 weeks ago. A NJ state trooper followed behind me for 2 miles then pulled me over. I asked "what was the problem"" the officer said while following you there wasn't any time you were able to stay in your lane. I told about my issue with electric power steering and showed him the E-mails to Hyundai. He made me get out of my car, and gave me a sobriety test. I passed of course. Then he asked if he could inspect the inside of my vehicle. I couldn't believe it! he was looking for alcohol or drugs. Of course there was none, and he gave me a warning. Hyundai to this day refuses to acknowledge any problem with there electric power steering. I don't want to endanger myself or anybody else with this dangerous vehicle. Please look into my complaint, and the thousand of others who are also dealing with this issue
