| 2011 | STEERING | 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA SE 2.0T THE VEHICLE HAS A CONSISTENT PULL TO THE LEFT THAT IS ALWAYS PRESENT; IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH. THE PULL TO THE LEFT IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE LANES QUICKLY AND DANGEROUSLY IF THE WHEEL IS LEFT UNATTENDED FOR A FEW SECONDS. CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT TO TURN THE WHEEL RIGHT IS ALWAYS NEEDED TO COUNTERACT THIS TENDENCY TO PULL LEFT. TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EFFORT THAN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ON ALL ROADS, REGARDLESS OF THE TRAVEL LANE, CROWN, OR PAVEMENT TYPE. THE ISSUE OCCURS UNDER CONSTANT SPEED, ACCELERATION, AND DECELERATION (WITH OR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES). ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PERFECTLY CENTERED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT PATH, IT APPEARS SLIGHTLY TURNED TO THE LEFT AT ALL TIMES. ARM FATIGUE SETS IN AFTER LONG TRIPS OF FIGHTING THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY IN THE LEFT LANE WHERE THE ROAD IS SLOPED FOR DRAINAGE, THE PROBLEM IS EXAGGERATED. *TR |
