Hyundai Sonata Syndrome

Looks like Hyundai still needs to add some more R&D instead of trying to pump out as many vehicles as they can.

That's disappointing news. I can't believe how that Sonata wanders off with only 700miles. Going down the highway must be right scary. Hyundai better take action on this, they've come so far in the last 10 years to have this screw up their accomplishments.

No shit!? :bonk:

Anyway, I blame fat Americans that are too lazy to check their tire pressures. :popcorn:

It's the tires, if you research a little further the Hankooks suck causing in imbalance. Here is a perfect explanation. http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t60420...pull-fix33.htm

Next!! My wife's Sonata SE tracks straight and her car has been great!

:bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:

I was wondering if anyone else picked that up.

Wouldn't that cause each car to vary between pulling right or left?

I'm sure tires would be toward the top of their list of things to look at, no?

I'm sorry but a friend of mine has a new sonata and I love driving the thing. One of the things I like to futz around with when drivng a new car is the tracking. I haven't hnoticed any prblems like the video shows. I call bs, trying to slow their sales numbers by bad mouthing a quality car.

You got a point there, never thought of that... who knows maybe the tread is slightly off center??

I just took the car on a 250 mile trip this weekend and I didn't have any problems. She's put over 15,000 miles on her car and we've already had it over a year. It has been a phenomenal car so far!

33% of Americans are obese! Shoot according to the BMI, I'm considered obese and I'm 6'1 198 lbs! I blame it on carne asada... :bellyroll:

^ ah makes perfect sense... Korea vs Korea means their product is robust! The fall guy must be user error! :bellyroll:

"Yet possibly thousands of the cars want to turn left, constantly — a problem Hyundai can't seem to fix"

"While Hyundai has issued a recall for a separate steering defect in Sonatas, it's been unable to produce either a permanent fix or an explanation for the problem — a large mark against its carefully crafted reputation for quality."

it worked with toyota... funny how domestic auto sales "recovered" after the whole unintended acceleration debacle... conspiracy theory? Hmmmm....

I'd still rather drive the dead-sexy Sonata than something imported from Detroit, even if it does want to play chicken with oncoming traffic every now and then. That's not a defect, that's moxy! And isn't the Sonata built in Alabama?

I don't know, did it? I haven't really looked at sales figures in a while. I thought the only dip they took was from the tsunami. Could be wrong though.

TBH, I may buy an Accent or Elantra when I pay off my Tundra in a few months. I'm definitely on the Hyundai band wagon. $15grand for a little 4door 40mpg car is great for something to drive around the east coast visiting family in.

Actually, I wonder if this has something to do with each individual car. I remember my father's 91 Honda Accord had this problem: steering always go to the right. But the mechanic simply cannot find the error (tires, mechanical, and whathaveyou). However, for all the other cars that I have driven (chevy, mazda, dodge, vw's and various rental cars) they do not have this problem at all. Pretty strange.
