| 2008 | VISIBILITY | THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP ON ITS OWN. IT DROPPED INTO MY SIDE VIEW AND BLOCKS VISIBILITY. LOOKING ON-LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC ISSUE ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO REPLACE AT THEIR COST AS THIS IS A ONE YEAR WEAR ITEM. *TR |
| 2011 | STEERING | CAR PULLS LEFT FROM MOMENT DRIVEN OFF LOT. WHEN RELEASE STEERING WHEELS IT MOVES FROM CENTER TO LEFT AND THEN CAR RAPIDLY MOVES LEFT. CONSTANT PRESSURE IS REQUIRED ON RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE MOVEMENT NOT AS BAD WHEN PASSENGER IN CAR. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER FOR ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING. WHEN THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM A COMPANY ENGINEER CAME TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHO DROVE IT AND PRONOUNCED IT FIXED. NOTHING HAD CHANGED IT STILL PULLED AS HARD LEFT AS BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TEST DROVE IT WITH THE MECHANIC WHO HAD WORKED ON THE CAR. WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE CAR DRIFTED RIGHT (I OUTWEIGH THE MECHANIC BY 100 POUNDS). MECHANIC TOLD ME HE WAS FRUSTRATED BY THESE CARS, ALL THE TURBOS WITH 18 INCH WHEELS PULL LEFT. HE THINKS IT IS EITHER THE WHEELS SIZE SINCE SONATA'S EQUIPPED WITH SMALLER WHEELS DON'T PULL OR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDS ADJUSTING. HYUNDAI IS DENYING PROBLEM EXISTS. *TR |
