Consumer Description

VEHICLE PULLS HARD LEFT WHEN ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. SEEMS TO GO STRAIGHT WHEN NO GAS PEDAL APPLIED. WHEN APPLYING MORE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE MORE THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT. VERY HARD TO KEEP CAR STRAIGHT. DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A TURBO LIMITED WITH A LOT OF TORQUE. I TEST DROVE ANOTHER LIMITED SONATA TURBO AT ANOTHER DEALER THE WEEK PRIOR TO BUYING MY CAR AT THIS DEALER AND IT DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WENT STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW NO MATTER HOW MUCH ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I TOOK THE CAR OFF THE LOT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR A TURBO VEHICLE. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE I TEST DROVE AT ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS THE SAME TURBO MODEL AND IT DROVE STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. *TR
