NHTSA Complaint #10701847 — 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE, INTERMITTENT OCCASIONS. WHEN DECELERATING WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL "STICKS" IN THE STRAIGHT-AHEAD POSITION. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN & NAVIGATE A HIGHWAY EXIT THAT CURVES. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE WHEEL AND PULL HARD TO MAKE IT TURN, AT WHICH POINT IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEEL "UNLOCKS" AND TURNS FREELY AGAIN. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ONLY TAKEN FOR SERVICE ONCE, AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NOW THAT I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I PLAN ON SCHEDULING SERVICE AGAIN). I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DUE TO THE SPRING BREAKING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SLOWLY HANGING AND WILL PROBABLY BREAK TOO. I TOO HAD ISSUES WITH THE ESC AND JERKING AND PULLING NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT THOSE ISSUES WERE ADDRESSED (AFTER MANY TRIPS TO THE SHOP & SEVERAL HIGHWAY SCARES) AND FINALLY REPAIRED. *TR
