2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY BRAND NEW 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR, DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LEFT THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. STILL PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT. I SET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN. *TR

VEHICLE PULLS RIGHT. CONSTANT CORRECTION NEEDED WHEN DRIVING. THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF CROWN SLOPE MAKES IT PULL TO THE RIGHT. EVEN ON A FLAT SURFACE LIKE A PARKING LOT IT WILL DRIVE TO THE RIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BLUE TOOTH DEVICE WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HIS PHONE WAS NOT COMPATIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10. THE VIN WAS UNAVILABLE.

THIS IS FOR A 2012 SONATA. YOUR OPTIONS TO SELECT THIS MAKE AND MODEL ONLY SHOWED 2011 AS THE OPTION YEAR. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2012. I PURCHASED A 2012 SONATA IN LATE JUNE. TECHNICALLY THIS IS THE SECOND ONE I PURCHASED. I CAN EXPLAIN IT THIS WAY. THE FIRST ONE I BOUGHT HAD A HORRIBLE PULLING ISSUE. IT PULLED RIGHT AGGRESSIVELY. BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY I TEST DROVE IT AND HAD THE SALESMAN DRIVE WITH ME. EVEN HE SAID, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. I TEST DROVE IT AGAIN AND IT WAS EVEN WORSE. I REFUSED TO BUY THAT CAR. THEY FOUND ME ANOTHER ONE. AT FIRST IT SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE ON THE TEST DRIVE. I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN IT MORE THEN A COUPLE BLOCKS. SAME ISSUE AS THE FIRST ONE AFTER I TOOK DELIVERY. THE CAR PULLED AND STILL PULLS RIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BORDER LINE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. SO, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND WORKED THE CAMBER. IT STILL PULLS NOW IT GOES TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON LINE. EDMUNDS FORUMS, VARIOUS SONATA COLUMNS, YAHOO FORUMS ETC'THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 SONATA STEERING. SOME SONATA TECHS SAY IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAD IN 2011 WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP AND MY FRUSTRATIONS DRIVING IT ARE HIGH. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CORRECT THE VEHICLES PATH. *KB
