I have an Hyundai i30 , model is Techno, which I understand has electronic power steering asistance. Car is perfect around town or around corners, no problems. But on a motorway in a straight line the steering seems to "lock" up slightly and requires more than normal effort to move the steerig wheel the slight amount to correct normal changes in direction caused by side winds, camber etc.

This results in overcorrecting and again this has to be corrected in the opposite direction to get back on line. This results in a zig-zag form of driving, uncomfortable to passengers etc. and disconcerting to the driver.

I have been driving for 40 odd years, cars and vans of all sizes and makes, never had this before.

Any one else experienced this with the new shape i30 ?. Been back under warranty and after several hours and test drives it was declared normal and no problems at all. The test was done around town and not on a motorway, so no problem would show up.

The dealer seemed very helpful and I saw the car on the computer and having wheel alignment checked. So is this a downside on this model ? Brian. W.
