Steering / suspension. I purchased the vehicle new on 01.09.2014 out of the showroom. About 3-4 months later, i started to notice the steering and rough ride. The steering was like a vehicle with "jimmy legs" loose and all over the road. I took it back to the dealership to get checked out. First thing it was out of alignment on the front end (left toe -0.10d, right toe -0.09d). They checked the suspension and told…

As i was traveling east on a main road, i turned left on to a secondary road at a very low rate of speed. I was completely shocked by the impact of my vehicle with a vehicle that was in the opposite lane, headed in a southerly direction. Prior to the collision i had no awareness of the presence of a vehicle stopped in that location, as the vehicle was completely obliterated from my view by the left side view mirror.…

The vehicle drifts from side to side at speeds above 40 mph. I've taken it to the dealership, they said there was no problem "its probably just the different driving modes on the steering wheel." they suggested to drive in "sport" mode which doesn't help.this is a major concern because its a huge safety issues and it must be addressed. There are too many complaints on the internet for this problem to be ignored. *tr

2013 hyundai santa fe 2.4 is having major steering issues. At speeds above 45mph the suv sways all over the road and is almost impossible to maintain control of. If you have any type of wind the suv will change lanes and if you slightly correct it over corrects. I have checked the tire pressure and the tires show no signs a wear. Also the fuel tank will only fill 3/4 full then you have to wait and ever so slowly put…

Driving on highway and hit a bump and the whole car shifted like into the other lane. I have asked local dealer before to check suspension and they said its "ok". " that's how it is". Since my purchase every bump i hit the car is not stuck to the ground and moves either to left or right. Might be a factor in the huge steering problem this car has as well. *tr

Vehicle does not stay in a straight line. I've had alignment issues before with other cars where it pulled to one side but this car is all over the place on the interstate. I constantly have to correct the steering wheel which is exhausting after 20 mins. Sometimes left sometimes right. Also suspension integrity is questionable when hitting bumps the car seems to bounce up and cause you to lose control for a quick…

This vehicle wanders all over the road. Whenever there is any wind -- even passing other vehicles -- the vehicle is unstable. In my opinion this car is not safe to drive. *tr

The car wants to go anywhere but straight. Any uneven pavement, wind gusts or cars passing by cause the car to require a steering correction. At speeds over fifty miles per hour steering input is required ninety percent of the time to keep the car within the driving lane. The dealer checked the alignment and said everything was to specification and normal. This is the worst vehicle i've ever driven including several…
