Since we have purchased this vehicle, it continually pulls and drifts to the left. We have to fight to keep it on the road at all times. So far the sway bar (link) has been replaced in the front and new tires put on. All this has been absolutely to no avail. There are several videos on youtube that show this exact problem people have been experiencing with this same make, model, and year Hyundai!! apparently this is a common problem and it is very dangerous when trying to steer the vehicle and the wind is blowing across the interstate. Also, when we had the vehicle looked at with one of our own mechanics, and not the dealership's mechanics, he put it up on the lift and could hardly turn the wheels. He commented that the steering was as tight as if the vehicle was a truck!! there is something very wrong with the steering that could easily lead to an accident.
