2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Steering Problem- Pulling Left

[MrBawston]

Bring to the dealer there's a campaign for a tracking 928 . Not a big deal make sure yr tire press is set to 35 and the road doesn't have much of a crown . EPS systems are very sensitive to road crown

I own a 2011 Sonata SE Turbo and it pulls to the left as well. Im on my third visit to the service department to correct this problem and yet it still exists. 2 of those visits were prior to the Recall being issued for this problem. They are pointing fingers saying that my right front strut is bent..not visually bent but somehow bent. Hyundai has a great warranty...trying to get the company to uphold it is another story. Ive put $1500 into this brand new car and now they want another $1300

I have the same problem with my 2011 Sonata Hybrid. The car pulls to the left. Brought it in to the dealer and they used the Straight-track alignment. Still have the problem. Called their 800 number and now they will have a field engineer look at the car when I bring it in for service. My neighbor has the same car and guess what... it too has the same problem. The car also has a hesitation problem when accelerating in EV mode.

@AKritzer I've had it with this car. I am having those same issues. The car rarely goes into EV mode even if I drive it like a grandma. Consequently, the mileage is nowhere near the advertised. I got just over 28mpg on the last tank. The car also sputters when accelerating all the time when first started. The dealer can't find anything, they barely know anything about the car. I am going to give them one more chance and then try the lemon law buyback.

These Sonatas are trying to hide their face. That's what you people get for buying one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Hyundai styling isn't easy on the eyes or the throat.

[DevPack]

Thats why i drive a ford fusion. No problems at all 10k miles. 

[jxtsful]

@DevPack But its a Ford and its ugly.

[DevPack]

@jxtsful yea thats why fords the most profitable automotive company this year. Also the fusion won motortrends car of the year. wtf has Hyundai done except for their cars to steer uncontrollably. I also dont understand how u can call a fusion ugly have u seen the front of both the sonata and sonata hybrid?

[jxtsful]

@DevPack Ford is not selling as much as Hyundai around the world, Ford does not sell any shit in Korea, Hyundai is destroying competition in the USA. LOL u got it???

[DevPack]

@jxtsful are u fucking serious????? Ford sells in europe, india, china, and australia. wtf are u talking about. Ford is a much more profitable company than Hyundai. Also im not saying Hyundai is not a bad automaker im just saying they are not as good as people think.

[jxtsful]

@DevPack Hyundai.Kia was 4th on planet earth in terms of sales around the world including the USA!! fucking idiot learn...

[DevPack]

@jxtsful stfu you stupid bitch show me where you are getting these stats. mother fucker.

[jxtsful]

@DevPack Go watch Elton John gay videos... u lost all credibility LOL bitch.

[DevPack]

@jxtsful way to change the fucking subject you stupid bitch shows how much you really fucking know. Fucking dumbass little bitch.

[jxtsful]

@DevPack fagot... lame. Elton John... hahahaha....

[DevPack]

@jxtsful haha shows how mature you are i feel like im arguing with a fucking couch.

[sckevin]

"Driving of the car requires constant holding of the wheel". No shit. Get your alignment, brakes and tire pressure checked. It's not the car fab otherwise more than 180 people would have complained.. Hyundai has sold over 100,000 Sonata's this year and we're not even done halfway. That's about 0.15 percent of car owners of Sonata's that complained. This is a case-by-case scenario across the entire country not a recall. Sorry bud, but you're not special enough to warrant their attention.

[levirolla]

that looks really annoying

[ericj305]

Although I don't doubt you have the tracking problem that has plagued so many sonata owners since its inception, I do find this video to be wholly unconvincing. Clearly, just before letting go of the wheel, you can be seen nudging it towards the left. This is no more evident than when you let go in the final demo because you actually speed up the 3-2-1 count in order to catch up with an already drifting car. Meanwhile, beautiful scenery. Location?

[anujbahl]

@ericj305 I agree I did a poor job of making this video. I didn't try to intentionally nudge the wheel left. Bottom line- Hyundai steering is inferior. similar problems plague other Hyundai/Kia models.

[jxtsful]

@anujbahl "similar problems plague other Hyundai/Kia models." no I have owned 5 Hyundai cars... u liar. How much do u get payed by Ford???

[anujbahl]

@jxtsful they paid me $25,000 and a new Ford Fusion

[jxtsful]

@anujbahl There u go they payed to get a cheap shit Ford. Again How much really did they pay u for this crap?

[MrImacarfan]

@anujbahl oh crap... as long as it wasnt a fusion v6 your good... the fusion v6 transmissions fail all the time type it in on youtube. hyundais crap. theyre wanna be hondas.

[Rgthuggin88]

@anujbahl its a damn shame.... people spending so much money on a new car....and they go for Hyundai for realiability and this is what happens to them....shame

[onebadgs400]

@Rgthuggin88 Really THIS is a reliability issue. Come on. I would still buy this over an ugly, honda or camry. This is a simple WARRENTY fix and they give you a Sonata while you its being fixed. LOL.

[Alfiechen1982]

I got the same issue...what should I do?? Could I return my car??

[anujbahl]

@Alfiechen1982 well, I had some success changing the tires out twice. Take it back to the dealer and take them for a drive and make sure they acknowledge the problem and document it. My stock tires pulled. I upgraded to better tires which pulled. The dealer put on some generic tires which drove straighter. The fact is Hyundai has inferior steering systems. You'll find similar problems in many Hyundais and Kias. If you're not satisfied, threaten them with a lemon law claim, and you'll get action
