August 17, 201114 yr Have been reading on this elsewhere- apparently hyundia is baffled, and cars that have been 'fixed' still aren't. Also heard it may be an issue on the new elantra, too.

August 17, 201114 yr Sounds like they get out of alignment easily. Weak FWD appliances. Edited August 17, 201114 yr by Cubical-aka-Moltar
August 17, 201114 yr It's obviously the road's fault, because the Hyundai Sonata is the best car ever and Hyundai is on a roll and everyone should look out for them.
August 17, 201114 yr That is what happens when you employ Rhyss Millen. The cars start drifting. Like other companies that boast using racing technology in daily vehicles, Hyundai can boast use of drifting knowledge applied for daily use.
August 18, 201114 yr LOL... first video: "Driving this car requires constant holding of the wheel". Well, duh.
August 19, 201114 yr I wonder if Hyundai/Kia has grown too fast in their pursuit of becoming the next Toyota, and have perhaps cut corners?
August 19, 201114 yr Isn't corner-cutting generally a hallmark OF Hyundai/Kia? They've just gotten better at hiding it.
August 19, 201114 yr It's hard to tell from the videos; when the driver let's go of the wheel, is it turning to the left, or does the car actually drift to the left despite the steering wheel staying straight? Are drivers having to constantly correct the drift by turning to the right? The recall says it only affects vehicles with 18' wheels. Maybe it's just a defect in the tires they used.
