Vehicle was purchased around january 30th, 2013, at the time of the test drive i noticed a lot of wind noise in the cabin and the vehicle would not stay in a straight line at 55 mph, it would sway left to right. Against my better judgment i still purchased this vehicle. The sales person informed me that the reasons why the vehicle performed the way it did was because it was a very windy. The next day i contacted the…

As first-time owner of a hyundai vehicle (2013 santa fe sport 2.0), i am deeply troubled and disappointed by my ownership experience. My main complaint consists of operating a very unstable vehicle at highway speeds. It wanders, surges, and generally has a mind of its own. I constantly find myself trying to identify the blasts of wind that jostles my vehicle from side-to-side, only to realize it's a perfectly still…

Car wonders from side to side when it should be going straight down the road. It happens at all speeds, but is more noticeable on the highway. *tr

At speeds above 50 mph, the vehicle starts to exhibit a 'wandering effect'...at speeds 60 mph plus, it really starts to 'wander'...the higher the speed, the worse it gets. Difficult and exhausting on a long trip to keep it in a straight line....."it`s like driving on marbles"...requires constant attention. *tr

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 steering is hard to control. The vehicle wonders from side to side as if you are being hit by strong wind gusts. The faster you go the worse it gets. The tracking is terrible. It doesn't matter what mode its in or weather the vehicle is empty or has 3 passengers in it. You're always correcting which makes for a very draining trip. *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…
