1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2023

The car is very hard to keep in a straight line going down the road. Constant inputs have to be given to keep the wheel at center as the wheel will not re-center after small inputs (I. E. Changing lanes, gentle curves in road, etc. ). I feel it is a safety hazard.

2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2023

Hyundai Elantra was stolen for the 2nd time after Hyundai's immobilizer was supposedly installed in the vehicle. Car was parked and locked in a secured employee parking lot with cameras. Rear window was busted out steering column torn down and ignition switch removed. Car was started with a usb. Just like everyone else's. The vehicle was located and is currently at the dealership where they are refusing to do any work because it is a "branded" title and no longer under any warranty.

3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2022

My car was stolen. I'm waiting to hear how much repairs will cost. The steering wheel ignition lock is easy bypassed by using only a small screwdriver or usb cord. This makes the car easily stolen and therefore violates the requirements of 571. 114 which requires a "starting system which, whenever the key is removed from the starting system prevents. . The normal activation of the vehicles engine or motor". This affects all kia / Hyundai vehicles with a normal keyed ignition and without a vehicle immobilizer produced from approximately 2009-2022. Since the technology required to comply with the regulation (I. E. A vehicle immobilizer) is readily available and available on other cars from this maker, the vehicle manufacturer knowingly violated this regulation. I request a NHTSA inquiry into this clear safety defect.
