2010 Hyundai Elantra Steering

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE STEERING SERVICE WARNING LIGHT ALSO BEGAN ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 ELANTRA. I SOON NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AND VERY SOON IT STARTED PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT ALIGNED. IT STILL PULLED RIGHT BUT IT WAS MUCH BETTER. SOON IT STARTED PULLING AGAIN, THIS TIME AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, 65-70 MPH. (BEFORE IT WAS AT SLOWER RATES OF SPEED(25 TO 45 MPH?). AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO BE ALIGNED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE, ROTATED TIRES, AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT WITHIN SPEC. I DROVE HOME WITH AN "IN-SPEC" CAR THAT STILL PULLED RIGHT. IT EVENTUALLY GOT WORSE WITH A HARDER PULL TO THE RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND CONFIRMED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT, AND THE CAR DROVE WITH GREAT IMPROVEMENT, BUT IT STILL HAD A SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT. I DROVE IT FOR A TIME WITH THE SLIGHT PULL, BUT IT GRADUALLY CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, SO I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TO THIS SAME DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN CONFIRMED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, AND ALIGNED THE CAR. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND IT STILL HAD A SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN OUTSIDE SOURCE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS STILL A PULL TO THE RIGHT, AND THAT THE STEERING WAS OFF AS WELL. I WILL BE MAKING YET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO HAVE IT ALIGNED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED 5 TIMES SO FAR. RIGHT NOW IT PULLS SO HARD RIGHT I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO KEEP CAR FROM SWERVING OUT OF THE LANE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSTABLE IN ADVERSE WIND CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE OF WHAT THE WIND SPEEDS WERE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH. THIS HAD ALSO HAPPENED WHEN PASSING TRUCKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE; THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FEELS THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE AT THE TIME THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 457.

HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE ACCELERATING AND TRAVELING AT 50 MPH. IT HURTS YOUR WRIST TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
