2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Steering Problem- Pulling Left

After bringing the car home, we noticed this steering problem where the Sonata keeps pulling left. After googling it, apparently it's a common problem in the 2011 Sonata.

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.

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?

@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.

@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

@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.

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

@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.

[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
