Just bought the 2013 Hyundai Elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center. While driving in town and on highway shifting lanes it didn't want to go and it will pull hard left or right almost causing to run off the road. 12/25/2019, while on the way home I almost struck another car. More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it wants to fish tail. Steering is sticky yet a lot of play. Intermittingly while braking it sounds like scrapping like when your brakes are bad. Braking slowly or abruptly makes no change. Wet roads is worse with braking.
Steering column coupling is bad due to which I hear the noice when I turn the steering. Also I feel that steering is hard to maneuver.

There are several issues with this vehicle 1. Steering- the electric steering makes this vehicle hard to maintain a straight line on the freeway. The auto steering or self correcting steering is dangerous and should have an off switch. 2. Traction control- the traction control is dangerous in ice,snow and rain. It has the opposite effect in these conditions, it would safer and would have more control if it is simply turned off. 3. Stalling- the vehicle stalls very easy, but I believe it due to saving gas at idle with lower rpm. (manual transmission) requires more gas when starting from a stop than any vehicle I've have owned. 4. Tps- tire pressure sensor never works always says there is an issue even after replacing sensors. These problems are constant since purchase!.
