Regulators Investigate Steering Problem With 2011 Hyundai Sonata
Reports of a steering problem with the 2011 Hyundai Sonata have led to an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA.
No injuries have occurred but their have been several complaints of a loss of steering capability and investigators are examining the possibility of a bolt in the steering system becoming loose.
About 16,000 Sonatas are involved, all of which were manufactured at the Hyundai factory in Alabama.
The NHTSA noticed that all vehicles reported were manufactured in the same month and had very few miles on them. “No defect has been identified. It’s too early to draw any conclusions about anything,” said Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor.
The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been a great success for Hyundai with sales in July up 33% from the same month last year. The company has sold 107,085 Sonata’s to date.
