Consumer Description

HELLO MY NAME IS[XXX], I HAVE 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT AND THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY STUPID AND LAME AND FRUSTRATING. WHEN YOU DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY YOU GOTTA CONSTANTLY KEEP TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING STRAIGHT. I HAVE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS CAR IS WITH ELECTRIC STEERING OR SOMETHING... I'M NOT FAMILIAR BUT THERE IS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. I HAVE READ IN THE FORUMS THAT IT COULD BE STEERING COLUMNS... BUT I THINK HYUNDAI SUPPOSE TO COME OUT WITH A RECALL. I HAVE CALLED THEM LIKE 5 MONTH'S AGO I EXPLAINED TO THEM THE WHOLE SITUATION THEY SAID THAT THEY GONNA GIVE ME A CALL BUT THEY NEVER DID. SO PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE THIS CAR DRIVES ME CRAZY! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
