My steering system is loose and make the car hard to control at times. I have had a front end alignment done which has not helped. I have Hyundai about the problem but have not gotten any help in this problem. I understand the the steering wheel coupler is made of plastic. This problem happens on any street or highway.
I am having an issue with the panoramic sunroof. I has loud rattle sound as hell. I have contacted several times before my warranty expires but they refused to fix

The first incident of our tires exploding happened on March 18 while driving along an empty street. The car jumped a curb and spun. The tires ending up having to be replaced, the suspension was damaged and had to be fixed and the rims were also damaged. Due to my husbands fast reaction he fortunately did not hit another vehicle. Yesterday, 5/21/15 will be the second time his tires explode except this time it is on the opposite side from the two previously repaired. What is going on with these tires?! these tires are horrible. I have a small child and god forbid my child is in the vehicle when this happened or if it happens again. Something needs to be done. I will never again purchase a lease a Hyundai or recommend this vehicle to friends and family!

The new Sonata is a safety hazard when driving down the freeway. It will not stay in a straight line. It is constantly moving or fading right to left. Hyundai dealership responds its built to go to the right incase you fall asleep. I have done some research to find the Sonata has had a long history of this same problem since 2011. The dealership says its the electric power steering pump. Well at high speeds its hard to handle and the reaction time is more difficult to compensate the right and left movement. I will be taking into a second Hyundai dealership next Monday so they can evaluate it. These Sonata's really need to be looked at. If driving at high speeds they move into the other lane and that is a major concern that Hyundai is not looking at. The only thing the first dealership did was check air in tires and torque the suspension as well as hook up a computer to the steering assembly and tes the steering modes. Which Sonata has normal, soft and sport. The fade to right and left happens in all modes.
