  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I've had my Genesis 5.0 r-spec for a month.The problem i'm having is when I get on the interstate,left lane,when i reach 60 the car pulls very hard to the left.I can hardly keep it on the road.I've taken it in twice and all they can tell me is to drive in the right lane.Has anyone else had this problem.Speaking with the manager this week on a solution.
 
Have tires checked for radial pull.
 
Drive it for 5 to 10 miles with the problem... then pull into the right lane or coast off the freeway. Try not to use the brakes at all. Once stopped in a safe area, set the transmission in Park. Put your hand NEAR but not touching each wheel rim, try to feel how much heat is radiating from the brakes. If any brake seems warmer than it's counterpart on the other side of the vehicle, your stability control or traction control are screwed up, thinking the car is doing something crazy and the system is using brakes to control it. If you have one of those point-n-shoot infrared heat guns, bring it for the test drive and measure the rotor (not caliper) temps that way.

As a test, hit the traction control/stability control OFF button on the dash while left-lane cruising. On the early model year sedans this button does nothing except turn on a light in the instrument panel... it maybe makes the system 5% less aggressive. If it really does turn OFF stuff on the later model years (I doubt that it does) then it'll be a quick way to test your steering issue.
