Complaint |
| 2009 |
STRUCTURE:BODY |
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION WHEN SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE DOORS ERRONEOUSLY LOCKED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CHROME ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE WAS PEELING AND TORE THROUGH THE CONTACT'S HAND. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO LOCK AND THE VEHICLE JERKED ABNORMALLY WHEN SHIFTING DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK AND JERKING FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED AND THE STARTER LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000. |

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM |
VEHICLE DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REQUIRING CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER, WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. UNABLE TO TRACK SMOOTHLY AROUND CURVES. SIMILAR TO ALTERNATING CROSS WINDS, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NONE. SITUATION VERY AGGRAVATING IN ACTUAL CROSS WINDS. ANY POLICE OFFICER WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN ISSUING A TICKET FOR "WEAVING". DEALER TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ELECTRICAL STEERING AND NOTHING TO BE DONE FOR IT. HE SUPPOSEDLY CHANGED SOME SETTING FROM "HARD" TO "SOFT', BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER, MAYBE EVEN BEING WORSE. I COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAI ON THEIR WEBSITE, WITH NO RESPONSE TO DATE. I AM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER (MOSTLY AVIATION) AND SUSPECT THAT SOME DAMPING NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO THE STEERING SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME, I AM NOTICING THAT ABOUT HALF OF THE 2013 SONATA COMPLAINTS CONCERN THE STEERING SYSTEM. NHTSA SHOULD TAKE ACTION BEFORE ACCIDENTS BEGIN OCCURRING DUE TO THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. *TR UPDATED 05/23/13 UPDATED 09/10/13*LJ UPDATED 01/02/14 |
