What owners wrote

Hyundai elantra touring pulls to the right while accelerating and traveling at 50 MPH. It hurts your wrist to keep it straight on the road. Alignment and tire rotation doesn't solve the problem.

Reported at 500 miles, June 2010

The elantra touring pulls to the right. After 6 trips to service and adjustments authorized by hyundai the car still pulls to the right. It is very tiring continuously correcting the steering.
