Sonata 4-cyl

  • 30 miles
There is an ongoing steering problem where the car drifts dangerously to the right. I noticed it within the first few days of the car purchase. I brought it to the dealer and was told, this is within "specs." The district service manager refused to ride in the car while I drove it to demonstrate the issue.

problem #1

Sonata

  • 2,000 miles
On 6 occasions the TPMS warning light has come on, all at speeds 75-80, all after driving about 2 hours. (trips to la, tucson). The tire pressure checked out ok when I stopped each time. I brought the car to the dealer 4 times, but each time they could not find a trouble code. The Hyundai bluelink diagnostic system has indicated a trouble condition since the beginning, and still indicates a trouble condition even though the dealer has indicated it has been reset on more than one occasion, and was reset again by Hyundai usa on 1/2/13. The TPMS does not come on when the tires are cold, as one would expect. The dealer indicated they can not duplicate the problem, and the car shows no trouble codes. I have contacted Hyundai usa and they indicate there is nothing they can do. Because of all the false warnings, I am concerned that I will not know if there is a true problem with my tires or just another false warning from the tire pressure monitoring system.
