Consumer Description

UPON ENTERING FREEWAY ON RAMP 5 7 2017 VEERED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHICH CUT ME OFF. AFTER MOVING BACK INTO LANE, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING IN A VIOLENT MANNER. I CONTINUED TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH WAS SHAKING LEFT AND RIGHT IN A VERY FORCEFUL MANNER. THE SHAKING STOPPED AND I CONTINUED DRIVING. THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, ROAD CONDITIONS PERFECT AND MY DRIVING SPEED WAS 60 MPH. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 1079 MILES AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER ON 5 12 2017 AND HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY TO ADVISE THEM OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS EVENT.
